Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Intro call with a recruiter. Next steps were going to be technical and behavioral interviews.

Before those were scheduled, the recruiter called me to let me know they were switching to a new take-home format in the interest of better inclusion practices.

I then received an email with a 48-hour deadline to complete an interview on filtered.ai. The process involved:

  • Installing a spyware browser extension to act as a proctor.
  • Recording video answers to some behavioral questions.
  • A coding assignment.
  • Another video recording to explain the coding answer.

The whole thing felt farcical, and to have it sold as something beneficial to candidates when it was clearly just a time saver for them was ridiculous.
