Software Developer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Interview with 4 people: 1 developer, 3 managers.

The last interviewer asked a lot of 'soft' questions, such as how I kept up to date on recent technologies. This didn't seem like a good use of time at all.

One person asked me a recursive coding problem that was fairly simple. Instead of letting me write the solution, she wanted to talk about it for 20 minutes. Her comments and questions were circuitous and opaque.

Another interviewer asked me a front-end question which appeared surprisingly relevant.

Instead of having lunch with anyone, you just sit in the same, small interview room and eat alone.
