Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

June 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

An initial phone screening that was basically a question and answer session. HR originally set up the interview as a video interview when the recruiter said it would be a phone call. I had to call the recruiter before the interview since no one was joining the call. Turns out the interviewer was also confused about why it was set up that way.

After the phone screen there was a series of 1:1 video interviews, 4 30 minute sessions with new people each session. 100% behavioral questions with 0 technical questions for a 6+ years position. Asked about my work history, times things were hard and how you worked through it, how you debug code you didn't write. Although as the interviewee I was given many attachments about how to make it so I didn't have technical problems, ironically the interviewers had technical problems where their video feed stopped working at points.

In the end I was not offered a job. I received an automated email without any feedback. After sending an email asking for feedback a recruiter called me and told me other candidates were more qualified.
