      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      4 Sept 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sydney
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BizCover (Sydney) in Aug 2020

      Interview

      Started off with an offline coding exercise. A pretty basic API programming exercise. After which, there was a technical interview, primarily focussed on the coding skills in relation to the test. The technical interviewers were nice folks and came across as easy to work with. My technical interview got over at 3PM on a Friday. The CTO rushed me to schedule a final interview at 5PM, without any notice. I gave him the benefit of doubt for this unprofessional approach thinking it's an urgent role. The panel also had an architect, who quizzed me on some tech stuff, and he seemed really nice. The CTO looked very uncomfortable when I quizzed him on why there were so many negative reviews on the company on Glassdoor. There was no feedback for 2 weeks. And I thought urgency was a 2 way street and then he said they are still interviewing. Which is fine, but then why show undue urgency? . I am pretty convinced that he took offense to my honest questions. He came across as someone who is very indecisive, which is a bummer for someone in that role. Looked at his LinkedIn profile, and he claims to be hands-on developer, which indicates he is not very confident on being a full time CTO.

      Thank you for leaving your honest feedback about the process. I do remember this and would like to explain what happened here. Firstly, you did very well progressing past the technical test and interview stage as we don’t have a lot of candidates that are good enough to progress to the final round. I was going away on holiday the day afterwards for 2 weeks and wanted to make sure you weren’t waiting for my return to schedule a final round and leave you in limbo. This is why I asked the agent if you would be willing to do a final interview so soon after the technical one. I thought they had explained this and I never meant to pressure you into this. I would have been ok to wait. I also wanted to make sure we could make a decision quickly if the interview went well. I don’t remember the Glassdoor question but I try to be transparent with candidates that ask about the negative reviews, owning that many of the issues came from being in a fast growth business and things have improved significantly now. We aren’t perfect but we do try improve wherever we can. I quite like these questions because we want people to work in a great environment and its important to go over how the team works now and what candidates can get out of the role. I don’t remember any questions you asked being negative. The reason I couldn’t provide you with a more timely response was that we had another candidate who we were deciding on who we ultimately made an offer to and I was away on holiday at the time. I wanted to see a few more candidates before making a decision and mentioned this to the agent. When candidates clearly stand out in the interview we make a decision within a day but when there are other good candidates that have applied and it’s a close call I feel its fair to give those other candidates a chance before making a final decision. If the interview didn’t go well however we would have let you know straight away. I’m actually the Head of Engineering and still enjoy being hands on where I can. If I wasn’t I don’t feel I would be able to make good technical decisions. I do hope you have found a good role and I apologise I made you feel this way. Given the high bar we have for people coming into the team, and you just missing out, I think that shows how good of an engineer you are, certainly better than most in Sydney.
