Senior Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
Process
I had an initial conversation with an Engineering Manager about the role and my background. My perception was that everything went well. The interviewee seemed a bit concerned about my previous experience leading a team and working as a full-stack developer, as the role was only frontend.
Although he mentioned it was an opportunity to do different kinds of work, and I made it clear I was ready to help the team/company in any way required, I had no issues with being purely an Individual Contributor (IC) – I applied to the role, after all.
I'm unsure why this was a problem, if it was at all; I'm just assuming.
After about a week, I received a generic email stating they had decided to continue with other candidates, which is perfectly fine. I replied to the email asking for feedback to help me improve and gain something from the short process, but they did not respond.
I felt that the company did not value the candidate's time. It was a very disrespectful approach, to be honest.

- 1.0Not a positive environmentSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaApril 27, 2018Pros: Decent pay, stock options are valuable, relevant technologies, and the occasional team-building event.Cons: Poor management decisions and reaction to escalation. Pressure to do what you are told, even if there is a better option. A lot of working on your own. Seniors scapegoating when things go wrong. Unhappy and unhelpful peers who seem to disappear a lot. Having to hear peers complain openly about how tools, work, and people are terrible, but they don't get to defend themselves. Once, I heard two management personnel joking, 'This person should be fired' when something went wrong. That's not even funny, and from anyone else, it wouldn't be acceptable, but management seems to get away with a lot. Don't get on their bad side... or you are on your own.
