Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The hiring manager did not show up at our originally scheduled meeting time. We rescheduled.

The hiring manager name-dropped a bunch of big tech companies they worked for in the past. It felt like the hiring manager was hoping for me to provide a similar list of familiar brand names, which was odd considering their supposed desire for more startup-y people.
