Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
The first on-campus interview was great. The interviewer was very nice. After a week, they assigned me a coding assignment, which I finished in 24 hours. Then they scheduled me for an on-site interview in Boston. The nightmare began. I should have realized when I arrived at the office and found out my appointment time was three hours later than I was told by email. Then they just randomly grabbed people from the office to interview me. The coding questions were pretty easy, and I finished them quickly. The interviewers were arrogant and made me feel bad.

- 3.0Friendly Team, Stalled GrowthSoftware Development Engineer • Former EmployeeNewton, Massachusetts, United StatesOctober 26, 2013Pros: 1. Great working environment! Free snacks and soda. 2. People are friendly and like to help each other.Cons: 1. Although they said that they require people to handle both front-end and back-end, they keep giving me front-end jobs, with no chance to touch their back-end at all! Maybe because I am just an intern. 2. My manager seems not to care about my project. He has no idea what I was doing, and he doesn't even care whether I can finish it or not. 3. It seems my team doesn't care about the interns. There was no welcome or farewell lunch, which is unusual compared to the other teams.
