Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I am taking the time to write this feedback because, truly, this was disappointing.
The recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and asked about my experience in Java or Spring Boot.
The next step was receiving a take-home assignment, which was also supposed to be solved only in Java 8.
I solved it and sent it to the recruiter(s), who then forgot to reach back.
So, I pinged them, and one of them responded, saying they have a lot of competitive applicants in the pool and unfortunately, they will not move forward.
There was no feedback on the assignment itself.
