Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

July 1, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

After two initial screening calls, I was invited on-site. The entire team was confused about the role I was applying for; they had serious confusion.

The most senior person who interviewed me asked me to write a function called "Hipster." This was obviously the first time I was ever trolled in an interview.

The project lead / managing engineer told me about how much he loves drinking, that they are pressured to drink, and it's a big part of their culture.

Splunk came off as very unprofessional. I could see how young engineers are attracted to the fancy office.

This is not a workplace for serious engineers looking to advance their career. Thank God I didn't get an offer and accept.
