Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The phone screen seemed promising, as they really sell you on how their interview process is different and exciting.

However, the technical interview proved it was the same, if not worse than every other company.

They have you prepare for a CoderPad interview, but when CoderPad fails, they have you copy-paste code segments into a local IDE.

The interviewers are uninterested and don't know the language they are interviewing you for. Their questions are simple, but the paragraphs of extraneous information and poorly formatted test cases waste a ton of your time.

The technical interviewers also don't allow you to introduce yourself or even chat before the interview, citing a desire to "reduce bias."

Don't bother wasting your time with their horrific, robotic interview process. You are worth more than this degrading experience.
