      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      15 Sept 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Smartwyre in Aug 2023

      Interview

      TLDR - dont waste your time. It took them 25 days to review a take home assessment that I only has 3 days to complete. The feedback I received was them admitting they dont understand the pattern I implemented and instead of letting me explain they told the recruiter no and I had to explain to the recruiter that the feedback is not valid. Communication during the interviewing process was zero. The internal person who I was supposed to communicate through never answered emails or provided any feedback. If this is how I was treated as a candidate, you can only imagine how bad the communicate within the company is. More details about my experience: I was contacted on LinkedIn about the position. At first I was declined immediately because I live in a state where they cant hire from. They provide that list and my state wasn't on that list so after some clarification I was able to start the process. After talking to the recruiter you are connected to a HR rep to hear more the company. 30 minutes Next step is a take home assessment where you have 3 days to complete and you're told it will take you 2-3 hours to complete. 13 days later they finally accessed my GitHub Repository. Another 12 days later I received the first feedback of "can you update the solution to .net 7 because they cannot run it on the version you submitted... but if you choose not to, they will pass" Another 10 days later. I received the final feed back that "I did not add value and the async methods I added were unnecessary and the unit tests I wrote were not intensive enough"

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do a take home assessment that should take 3 hours. You have 3 days to complete it. Refactor a file that is a switch case.

      Thanks for providing this summary of your experience to us. We appreciate your feedback on the time delays in our interactions with you. That's not the experience we aim to create for candidates. We've taken that feedback to tighten up our response times and our interactions with busy professionals. Re: our engineering assessment. We have found these to be a good indicator of fit for our team, and it is a key step in our recruiting process. All of our existing team have come through the same process, and so it is important to them that our recruiters identify early if a candidate fits with our tech stack and development methods. We recognize that this is a time investment for all candidates, and so we do try to make exercise as efficient as possible.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Smartwyre (London, England) in June 2022

      Interview

      4 Stages including a take home test, were very impersonal process there wasn't really any interviewing going on it, was just technical tests. I'm not sure if this is what it's like in america but this was one of the worst processes i've been through in years

      Not many just mainly technical grilling
