Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Initial Phone Call

A technical interview that was not technical. This was the part of the process that I kind of got thrown off by. Typically, technical interviews are to assess your coding ability and knowledge of the specific stack. This was not that.

The first three questions were behavioral "what if" scenarios. The questions revolved around the same issues, and were basically the same question asked over and over again.

Next, I was asked to design a warehouse space and then told there were no wrong answers (this often translates to "there is only one right answer, and you better follow it to a T").

Overall, I felt a bit set up to fail. The email describing the interview stated it would cover topics such as the basics of Computer Science and the tech stack, so immediately going into the interview, I was thrown off.
