      Software Development Engineer In Test Interview

      6 Feb 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Philadelphia, PA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cesium (Philadelphia, PA) in Jan 2024

      Interview

      Without a doubt, the most absurd, massive waste of time, toxic experience I have ever had in ~10 years in the industry. * Required a ~4 hour project (not a coding test) * Took days/weeks to communicate during every single step (to the point where I thought I had been ghosted multiple times) * Either lied or at the very least were absurdly misinformed about the content and purpose of interviews * Offered a slightly under market salary and then claimed they couldn't afford that exact amount months later * Certain interviewers alternated between pleasant and bizarrely hostile Etc., etc. A literal sea of red flags. Finally, after a nearly 2 month back-and-forth with 3 rounds of unpleasant interviews, and repeatedly assuring that they "respect my time" and "support fully remote", they ended up hiring someone who is fully local. This should have been a 2-3 week process *at most*. Almost comical, really. If I were a prospective employee, I would run away as fast as I could.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Why do you like testing? I hate testing.

      Question 2

      [During what I was told was a technical deep-dive to go over my project] What's it like to work with you?
