      Software Engineer Interview

      14 Dec 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Piksel in Nov 2011

      Interview

      The interview was with a senior architect that seemed more impressed with himself than actually giving information about the available position, the company, and seeing if I would be a good fit for the opening. He explained his role, and the size of the company, their client, and then went into an hour long question series that consisted of questions more appropriate for interviewing a Computer Science Professor rather than a Software Engineer. For a company so large, it made no sense to ask a developer architectural verbiage that will NEVER be applied to the tasks that would be assigned to them. All the questions could've easily been Googled, and didn't prove anything that makes a developer great. I would've much rather been given a code assignment to display my coding abilities, rather than having to answer questions such as, "What makes Java a unique Object Oriented language?" and "What language does Java compile to?" and "In what year was Java created and the name of the language?"...The interview was very insulting, and afterwards, I told the recruiter that I wasn't even interested in the results. Thirty minutes into the interview, I just wanted the guy to stop talking and if I had to work for him, then I knew I wouldn't want the job at all, regardless of the tasks given.
