      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 15, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Dayforce in Dec 2020

      Interview

      I'd say that their hiring recruiters might want to look at learning a few manners. Talked to the in-company recruiter. Everything was fairly normal: going over my career history, talking about the project I'd be working on.. until we got to the topic of desired compensation. He said that they wouldn't be able to meet my expectations (filled it out on application) and was wondering if I'd be able to go any lower. I let him know (very politely) that I was interviewing at other companies for that range already and I probably wouldn't because most of the job offers I've been seeing are in that range. As expected, he said that he would suggest that we end our conversation... but then went on to say that their company is doing very complex things and that he doesn't see me a good fit there. Lol nice.. I assure you that wouldn't be the case, but regardless, it doesn't justify the rude comment.

      I interviewed at Dayforce (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      General C#, SQL question, and a coding exercise. They are trying to help you if you get stuck. But mostly coding questions are easy when you compare others. If they are looking for full-stack developer probably will face with react, CSS and HTML questions

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Dayforce

      Interview

      Terrible. 5 guys watching your screen via video conference as one of them haphazardly copies and pastes a block of text into Rustpad and says: "code that". They didn't seem to have much direction in terms of what they were asking for, as it almost seemed like they were making up what to do next on the fly. It was a complete failure in terms of being a useful assessment of ability. 0 stars.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Write code for virtual scrolling in rustpad, with basically no prompt or boilerplate to work off of.

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Melbourne
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Dayforce (Melbourne) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      1. Pre-call screening with HR (1 hour) 2. First Technical Interview with Software Developement Manager (1 hour) 3. Second Technical Round (2 hours) with two senior developers 1. Poor time management by the interviewers. Started the meeting 5 mins late. 2. Not organised between them (Who must start first and what they should do). One interviewer asking the other who will conduct the interview. 3. Extended the meeting for another 15 mins on top of 2 hours. 4. Not clearly defining the requirements what's needed rather complaining after producing the result. (Use different editor, like to see full implementation, while the interviewer said he is looking for partial implementation) 5. Keeping videos OFF while the interviewee speaks. 6. I was not able to copy the answers from editor to Zoom chat for some reason. Tried all best ways, ctrl C and V didn't work and even buttons didn't work. Interviewer seemed to be annoyed in the end something for which I don't have control over.
