Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
Avoidant at answering questions related to career and work-life balance. Late interviewer. Surprise technical aspect likely to qualify out candidates, but felt awkward. Disorganized overall; expected more. Would not recommend spending time unless compensation is the pure goal here, despite very cool projects they’re working on. Lot of red flags.
