Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process was long, tedious, unorganized, and annoying.

I spoke with a technical recruiter through a referral who immediately began to downplay my skills and experience in a passive-aggressive way. I was then connected with an extremely socially awkward engineer for a tech screen, which took a week to schedule since the recruiting coordinator (different from the technical recruiter) kept moving things around last minute.

After that, I didn't hear back for two weeks, so I pinged them again only to receive an email in the context of "we didn't forget you" (yeah right).

I was scheduled for another tech screen, which was a much better experience than the previous one.

After this, I was asked to tech screen with the same person I had already spoken to in the first round. I emailed to find out why this was the case and heard back saying that they would find out what the "real next steps" were. I waited one week, didn't hear back, and took a competing offer that was much more beneficial for me. I still haven't heard back from Walmart.
