      Senior Software Engineer - Backend Interview

      May 24, 2022

      Minneapolis, MN

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Minneapolis, MN) in May 2022

      Interview

      Quick phone screen, which was good and the Technical Recruiter was very friendly and open. But the technical interview was awful. Off-shored through Karat, got an interviewer with a thick accent who was little to no help. Karat's web IDE was also awful and gave minimal indications if what you were trying to do would build or not until you hit the Build button. Just terrible. I got a full solution to the first problem and then had explained my solution to the second problem but ran out of time before I could implement it fully. Both questions were LeetCode medium/hard and have no actual connection to day-to-day software engineering.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      10 minutes of trivia questions regarding software engineering concepts, then 45 minutes to finish 2 LeetCode Medium/Hard problems.
