I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Runpod (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
Stage one with TA, recruiter skipped because they couldn’t find 15-30 minutes to meet with me. Fast tracked me to next stage, meeting hiring manager. Hiring manager shows up, a software engineer through and through and starts grilling me with unrelated technical questions for 30 minutes. No heads up this is going to be a technical interview. Has zero people skills, pays no interest in my background or me as a person. Asks me to explain the difference between a left, right and inner join in SQL queries. They are basically trying to hire a full stack software engineer who can speak to people for between 70-120K. This was one of the least professional interviews I’ve ever experienced and there’s clear confusion on the difference between a Sales Engineer and a Software Engineer.
