Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The first round was a coding interview. The interviewer was an experienced engineer, and the question was quite easy. The interviewer was friendly and always tried to make me feel comfortable. We had a good conversation.

The second round was a behavioral interview with a hiring manager. The manager seemed uninterested. There were no introductions, greetings, or background information provided. They turned off their camera and asked me 3-4 behavioral questions as soon as I joined the Zoom meeting. The experience was really bad.

I sent a follow-up email to the recruiter after one week but haven't heard back. I think I should move on.

Questions

The coding question is trivial.

Here are some standard behavioral questions that you can find on the internet:

  • "Tell me about a time you faced a challenge and how you overcame it."
  • "Describe a situation where you had to work with a difficult team member."
  • "What are your strengths and weaknesses?"
