Software Engineer, Backend Interview Experience - South San Francisco, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process took about three weeks.

I applied through LinkedIn and received an email from a recruiter who set me up for a phone screening. My first phone screening was a little nerve-wracking, but I was able to solve the problem with a lot of help from the interviewer, who was extremely nice.

I then received an email from the recruiter stating that they felt they hadn't gathered enough information from my first interview, so they scheduled me for a second phone screening.

The second phone screening was awful. The interviewer was not only rude and unhelpful, only giving me one-word answers to my questions, but I could clearly hear her typing furiously throughout the entire time. When I asked a question for clarification, she told me in a very condescending voice that it was stated in the problem. After the time was up, she basically said, "Oh, time's up! Have a nice weekend!" and the conversation essentially stopped there.

Overall, it was a relatively positive experience up until the second phone screening.
