Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Mateo, California

February 1, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Recruiter call.

Phone Screen - 30 mins coding, 30 mins design (make sure you code quickly and that your code runs).

Virtual Onsite - 5 rounds scheduled, only made it through 2.

  1. Design - I had a super rude interviewer. Got irritated when I asked clarifying questions about the requirements (his favorite response was "how does it impact your design"). Also was arrogant about his own knowledge "do you know how A actually works".

  2. Coding - Can't reveal the question because of NDA, but make sure you have your IDE setup along with all the dev tools you need because you won't be using CodeSignal (despite what the recruiter says). I had to spend 5-10 mins setting up the dev tools, which ate into the implementation time.
