Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

I applied online and received a HackerRank assessment. After completing the HackerRank, the recruiter emailed me, stating they wanted to move forward and scheduled a phone screen. The phone screen was behavioral, and they asked me questions about teamwork and why Wayfair.

After that, I was scheduled for a technical phone interview with an engineer. The phone interview was easy, and the questions were related to OOP concepts and data structures.

Following the phone interview, the recruiter said they wanted to move forward with the final behavioral interview. After sending my availability, they reached out saying they are done hiring and have reached capacity.

Highly unprofessional and a massive waste of my time. Don't waste your time interviewing here - recruiters are clearly clueless and not aware of their own headcount.

Questions

Similar to other interviews on Glassdoor:

For the technical interview, design a class that has a given functionality.
