Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas

March 1, 2019

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

It all started with a HackerRank test, followed by:

Senior Director Interview
Four technical interviews
One additional interview
One interview with the Director

Questions

They had a job opening for Mainframe + C++, but the team was looking for Java and Javascript. This screwed up my entire 3 months of interview process.

Skills listed included: Core Java, Collections, COBOL, DB2, CICS, and VSAM.

The team was not aware of what they wanted to hire for, and they wasted candidates' time. Neither was the HR co-operative.

Was this helpful?
