Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

June 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a recruiter call, followed by a hiring manager call. Later, I was given a take-home coding challenge where I was provided with data and asked to solve some questions.

I gave him two perfect solutions to the coding challenge, using two different technologies.

I also had a follow-up interview with the hiring manager.

However, I did not pass the interview. There was no proper explanation for the rejection.

I felt the hiring manager was afraid of hiring me.

It felt like they were working with my employer and simply rejected me after wasting all my time.
