Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada

July 6, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied through the campus job board. The recruiter reached out to schedule an interview.

The interviewer seemed disinterested from the get-go. I could hear notifications on his phone and see him glancing at it. After giving me the premise of the technical question, he muted himself and provided little feedback. Halfway through the interview, he turned off his video, leaving me with no feedback. Questions I had were met with a delay before he unmuted himself, and I seemed to have to get his attention every time I had a question. I had to actually ask him if he was still there when I finished the technical question, which I felt was ridiculous to have to do in a one-on-one interview.

He gave off a fairly unprofessional impression, although this was mostly due to the interviewer and not the structure itself. I ended up being waitlisted for an offer.

Questions

Standard technical question about string manipulation.
