Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bellevue, Washington

May 2, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

I applied online, and a recruiter reached out to me. We had a regular recruiter screening interview, then moved to an online phone screen. They started with intros on both ends and asked about a project in detail. I explained my project in detail, but the interviewer didn't feel it was very challenging. Well, I can't do much about it.

Then I went for a system design question. I explained it until the deep dive, and then the time was over. The last 5 minutes were spent asking any questions I had. I feel 20 minutes is way too little to design and discuss system design, but that's how their process is. I felt the interviewer was condescending.
