Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Terrible experience.

First, they said it would be a contract, which I agreed with. I went through the entire interview pipeline: phone screening, virtual on-site, negotiated offer, and accepted.

Two weeks later, they told me they were no longer accepting contractors and would need to re-interview me for a full-time position, which I agreed to. I went through the entire interview pipeline again and negotiated salary. Then, suddenly, they said they were not hiring anymore.

The funniest part is, the recruiter was raging about how the previous candidate was so unprofessional for bailing on them after signing a job contract and told me multiple times to stick to my words.

Thank God I didn't quit my old job, or I would have been royally screwed.

Questions

I don't remember what was asked. They were pretty standard LeetCode-style questions.
