      Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 26, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I normally don't write about interviewing experiences on glassdoor, but this was so bizarre. I was contacted by a sourcer, then talked to a recruiter, then talked to an engineering manager, and finally a technical phone screen. During my TPS, I was given a standard (and fairly simple) data structures and algorithms question involving arithmetic operations. I figured out an optimal solution, wrote it, tested it against all the examples, ran it, and produced the right answer each time. I caught all the edge cases I could think of. The interviewer said, "your example is complex enough that I believe you've got all the edge cases." Great. Wonderful. I spent 10 minutes asking questions about the company. Phone screen ended, and I'm fairly confident that I'll be moving forward. The next day I got an email from the recruiter saying that they decided to move forward with other candidates. The only thing I can think of that may have resulted in a no decision was probably culture fit. Maybe I didn't seem excited enough about the company? I guess I'll never know.
