Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks.

The recruiter approached me and after the first 30 min talk she disappeared for 3 weeks. I was like okay I can apply myself so I did and they wanted to have another HR round with me so I thought I should let them know that I’ve already had one and let me know if the process differs in my case. No answer, but the ghosting recruiter turned up with organising the technical round that day.

I had an appointment, they made me book another because of some ‘engineering day’. I finally got my first tech round and after 6 mins being in the call someone jumped in to tell me that the interviewer is sick and they’ll catch up with the next steps. Well, learning from the past I wasn’t going to wait for them, I booked myself another tech interview the week after.

It went well, wasn’t difficult at all but they didn’t really ask questions to any depth. After that day I got a call that the HR person is waiting for me in the call, even though I told them that I’m ahead of the process and never got an answer. I have never met such chaotic and unprofessional people during hiring. I wish they’ve never approached me. What a waste of time.
