Sr. Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

September 2, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Completed:

  • Screener
  • Cognitive assessment
  • Pair programming challenge
  • "Life Story"

Remaining:

  • Technical deep-dive challenge
  • Systems design challenge

I'm conflicted because for steps 1, 3, and 4, I met some great people and was really enjoying the interview experience. After step 4, I was sent a generic rejection message. After requesting additional feedback, I was informed that they don't provide that when a candidate has just started the interview process.

The process was a significant time sink, and it seems like they didn't have a hiring manager look at my resume until I had already put in significant job search efforts for the Shopify interviews.

  • I was told a list of steps in contradiction to the candidate portal (access given after stage 3), so I'm guessing there were two more steps.

Questions

In the "Life Story" section, it was the rather standard, "What got you into tech?"
