Software Engineer Interview Experience

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Programming challenge that took ~3 hours.

They got back to me with an esoteric language optimization that should have been made and denied me afterwards. 3 hours wasted.

Several of my peers have also complained about the lack of balance/respect with regards to time invested to candidates. Talk about getting thumbtack'd.

Questions

Stripped version of transactional Redis.
