Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience

October 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online without a referral, then received an online assessment. The online assessment contained three questions in total: two LeetCode Medium and one LeetCode Hard. Upon completion of the OA, I had a phone call with the recruiter to discuss next steps, and then was given a take-home assignment. Unless you know Python for backend, you have to do a front-end challenge. I am not a front-end person; despite that, I was forced to do it. After submitting the take-home assignment, I received a rejection a couple of days later with no explanation. I would recommend to prospective SWEs out there to stay away from this company. The company is disorganized, disrespectful, and not timely.

Questions
