Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Argentina

October 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Screening interview with recruiter
  2. Screening interview with a manager
  3. Coding challenge (review a PR in GitHub)
  4. Call with recruiter to provide "tips"
  5. 4.5-hour process, including:
    • 1 manager interview
    • 1 coding session (1.5 hours)
    • 1 system design session (~45 minutes)
    • 1 soft skills session with a Senior Staff Engineer

The recruiter stated they have a 24-hour SLA for results. I received mine 10 days later, with feedback that "my technical skills were fine, but there wasn't a cultural fit due to me not being collaborative." This was despite discussing my collaborations with every team in every company I've worked for, and attempting collaborative technical sessions with interviewers who barely spoke. It seems this was not enough for them.
