Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

July 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was referred by my friend and was instantly placed by a recruiter for a senior position. I wasn't looking to fill a senior role, as the stack was a bit different from what I was working with before.

I had one phone interview. Unfortunately, it was quite clunky.

It wasn't a coding challenge, but some abstract task that should have been done on a whiteboard and not with Google Docs, as it required a lot of drawing and not coding.

From the beginning, I knew it wasn't a fit for me, again due to the wrong application title that was set by the recruiter.

I haven't heard from them for about a month, maybe more.

It's clear they may be a good company with great people building a product. The HR or recruiting department is letting the whole team down.
