Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Mateo, California
Process
I applied online, and a recruiter asked me to set up time for a call.
During the call, the recruiter said that she did not have the green light to hire for the position yet and would reach out at a later point.
If she knew this, why did she set up the meeting and waste my time? Very unprofessional.
Questions
Just talk about my current project.
