Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took two weeks.

At first, it was a chat with the recruiter, which went great. He was kind enough to provide tips for the technical interview. The technical interview was proudly claimed several times to be technology-agnostic, yet my level of stress and abilities were severely damaged when I was asked to implement code in C#. We spent over 30 minutes looking at me stressing out and failing to code in C#. Most of the task was completed, and I demonstrated an enormous amount of knowledge by improving the code and discussing best practices. All went out the window as a result of failing to implement the code properly and fast enough to progress with the interview.
