      Experienced Software Engineer Interview

      30 Oct 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Westfield, IN
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SEP (Westfield, IN) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      The interviewing group (myself and 3 SEP employees) I was with seemed very disinterested and honestly bored with me. Be prepared to ask them a lot of questions and lead the interview yourself -- they hardly asked me anything about my experience / skills / interests. Ah, and don't be alarmed if one of them literally FALLS ASLEEP while you are showing them a project you're proud of. Totally normal behavior. You spend the majority of the day at their office ~9am - 3pm You get a full tour of their office, do a couple whiteboard problems, go to lunch with a few team members, and then finish by "teaching" them something or showing a project or some code you've written. I felt pretty uncomfortable for a lot of the interview process. It really felt like they were going through the motions and had no interest in vetting me for the job opening. One person was on their phone during the interview, and like I mentioned earlier, another was falling in and out of sleep, even snoring at one point. Not even joking. I felt so embarrassed and wanted to walk out.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The two whiteboard problems were: - A palindrome problem with a twist - A "well drilling" problem -- you design a program to manage groups of plots on a grid
