Software Developer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois

November 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A bit weird and unusual. The process here definitely leaves something to be desired, although discrimination in the process makes it even worse. I interviewed for a position that writes code, but that wasn't part of the process. The phone interview seemed to go well enough. The in-person interview was something else entirely. They never put me in a room with coders, which I thought was weird. I interviewed with several levels of management that day, as well. Usually, that's a sign that, as long as you don't set the interviewers on fire, you can probably expect an offer. Instead, they turned me down and rejected me for a made-up reason (it was related to me not having a skill set that:

  • I have
  • They never asked about

), which gives off a real, discrimination-y vibe. [The thing I would potentially be discriminated against over is very visible]

Questions

I don't remember the exact questions, but despite interviewing as a coder, they asked me all architecture questions.
