      Software Engineer Interview

      21 Aug 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at World Tech Makers

      Interview

      The interview consisted of: 1) Chatting with the hiring manager over video call 2) One in person round of interviews in their office in Cambridge. I chatted with various members of the team - CTO, hiring manager, etc. A warning to future applicants - World Makers pulled a bait-and-switch around remote working. Prior to interviewing, I made it clear that I would only be able to work in a remote capacity. World Makers agreed that they would be open to remote work (multiple times) - albeit this communication was done through a 3rd party recruiter. During the first interview, the hiring manager indicated that hybrid work was expected. I reiterated that I would only be able to work remotely and the manager quickly backpedaled. Then, after the interview process was over, they extended me an offer for hybrid work instead (1 day per week in the office). When questioned why they didn't offer remote work, they claimed that: 1) I had indicated in the in person interview that I had agreed to hybrid work. This is not true, I never agreed to work from their Cambridge office. 2) Working from the office is apparently a core tenet of their company and they wouldn't be open to remote workers. At the end of the day the people I met at World Makers were lovely, and it sounds like they have some interesting work going on. But the positives weren't enough to overcome the unreasonable working conditions outlined in the offer, and the unprofessional way this change was made. Advice for World Makers: Make your expectations clear right from the start. If you are not willing to offer remote work, be honest and upfront about it.
