Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was really interested in this company, but they need to seriously reconsider their hiring process. It felt a lot like Google of ten years ago – phone screen after phone screen after phone screen.

Once during the process, I had to wait two weeks for a reply because of some problem with their spam filters. Another time, I was ignored for weeks because I'd been confused with some other candidate. I exited the process entirely after my last interviewer hadn't reviewed my resume at all and insulted my last company/job title.
