Made it through phone screen, two different in-person interview sessions a week apart. All interviews were positive and respectful experiences except the very last one... which was probably the worst interview I have experienced. Final interviewer didn’t make eye contact from the start, asked me to regurgitate a highly complicated regex (an oddball interview question imo). Since speedy regurgitation of unreadable regexes was not something I had specifically prepped for, when I struggled to get the correct answer, the interviewer basically told me “the real answer was way more complicated” and declined to elaborate on the solution. I was astonished at how quickly and disrespectfully my candidacy had been discarded. I went through another Sysadmin-type question regarding file system traversal, with confidence deflated, successfully answered albeit slowly. Following this disaster of an interview the interviewer then declared if I didn’t have any follow up questions, then we were done. The interviewer had zero interest in me at this point. I was immediately sure I was not getting an offer. Considering I had gone through the phone screen, and no less than 6 1:1 in person interviews, this is a rotten way to treat candidates. On top of this it’s been 2.5 weeks since my last interview and despite an initial info call from the recruiter, I have had no feedback. I attempted to make contact almost a week ago and was utterly ignored by the recruiter. Interview methodology seems to be broken at Pure. If I had simply memorized an overly-complicated regex that I would be ashamed to include in my source for lack of maintainability, I likely would have an offer. Sadly I don’t think this is an exaggeration. I would tend to agree with those characterizing the interview experience at Pure as a “waste of time”... certainly was for me.
