      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      30 Jun 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Compass (New York, NY) in Jun 2019

      Interview

      Headhunter reached out to me. They were pretty quick in the process and feedback after each step. Interview rounds: 1. Video interview (outsourced to Karat) This was great as it was outsourced and done by a profession interviewer from Karat. Some open ended questions, followed by 3 coding challenges. 2. Phone interview with an engineer from Compass Basic JavaScript interview. 3. 4 Onsite technical interviews (45 mins each) - 1 background and experience, 2 whiteboard coding, 1 system design. A 15 min followup with the recruiter in the end. This was the not-so-great part of the process. First interview with the manager was pretty good. The coding interviews were only 45 mins long and they expected to chat for 10 mins, then do whiteboard coding, then another 5 mins for followup. Explaining the coding problem itself took about 5-10 mins so I was left with about 20-25 mins to actually come up with the solution, implement, and trace it. Almost all of interviewers were a few mins late leaving even less time for the coding. One of the interviewers took almost 15 mins to explain a problem statement and ended up running 15 mins over while the next interviewer stood outside the conference room knocking on the glass every few mins! It seemed like he was trying to ask a trick question just to show off. Came off across as disrespectful, constantly checking phone, ignoring a lot of the things I was saying, and ignoring his colleague waiting outside the room to interview next. The last interview was system design and we started about 20 mins late. The interviewer stopped me about 30 mins in saying it's Friday and he needed to leave for the day. Last two interviewers didn't seem to care much about the process, checking their phone and not paying full attention to what I was saying.
