      Software Engineer Interview

      8 Apr 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Affirm

      Interview

      I was interviewed by the recruiter first. He was very pleasant to talk to and the call went well. He said he would pass on my information to the development team and let me know. A few days later he set me up for a technical interview with an engineer. From the beginning the second interview was awkward. The interviewer was very nice but she didn't seem like she knew how to interview. She asked me to talk about my past experience which I did. But I don't think she was listening at all because as soon as I finished she asked me what languages I was using at each company which I had just said. I felt like I had to repeat myself several times. She was obviously doing something else because there were long periods of silence and I could hear some noises from her computer. She asked me two algorithm questions. The first one was pretty straightforward. The second one I felt like she didn't do a very good job explaining it, because I really didn't understand what she was trying to get as the end result. When she tried explaining the solution she was looking for, she kept talking in loops and not making much sense. Honestly, it felt like it was the first interview she ever did.
