Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 7, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process consists of:

  • One HR phone screen for behavioral questions.
  • One online assessment.
  • Two rounds of Skype phone technical interviews.

The interview questions are not overly difficult, but they frequently ask about your past work and projects.

However, their hiring process made a ridiculous mistake with me. They scheduled my on-site interview for one day after my last phone interview, and then a few days later, they informed me, "Sorry, our interviewer mixed up the feedback, so you were not actually passed the interview." It's unbelievable for such a famous company to make such a terrible mistake. I was very unhappy and felt I was fooled.

Questions
