Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

July 24, 2017

Process

A recruiter contacted me over LinkedIn. We scheduled an initial phone screen tech interview. However, they did not call me at the scheduled time. We rescheduled, they didn't call again. We rescheduled a third time, and they finally called.

The interviewer was rude and seemed to be in a hurry to get the interview done, just for the sake of it. If you don't have the time to conduct an interview professionally, why waste the candidate's time?

I believe I provided answers to their questions, including edge cases. Still, I received a rejection email stating they wanted to hire someone with more coding experience.

I am not writing this review because I was not selected for the next round of the interview, but purely because of the bad experience I had with the interview process.

Overall, a negative experience, much like using their app and website.
