Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

Friendly recruiter. Easy process overall. None of the questions were special or difficult/hard.

  1. System design round
  2. Project round
  3. Coding round
  4. Values round
  5. Hiring manager round

The interviewer from Values round seemed to be a non-technical person and most likely didn't comprehend my contributions and company values relation. It seemed like the interviewer had a list of questions to complete and it was a weird rapid-fire round as the interviewer just rushed through those questions.

The hiring manager seemed distracted throughout the process and the hiring manager's answers seemed boring and made up. I didn't vibe at all.

I got a reject with a feedback saying they don't think I am a cultural fit. I dodged a bullet.
