Associate Software Engineer Interview Experience - Merced, California
Process
It was a behavioral interview. Everything seemed to be going fine; she was asking what seemed to be typical behavioral interview questions, such as why I wanted to work with them and why I wanted to be an associate software engineer.
I thought I did well because my interview did not end with the interviewer politely declining me. The interviewer even said that they would send me a message about what to do next.
The next day, I found out I did not get the job.
Admittedly, this was one of my first interviews. I will need to prepare next time for any behavioral interviews.
I did not like it because I thought everything went well, but I did not get the job. I am basically pissed off that I did not get the job.
