      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 5, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Redlands, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Esri (Redlands, CA) in May 2024

      Interview

      A contrived technical test that did not demonstrate actual competence. The technical interview was more about showing off impractical esoterica that wouldn't pass a code review. The soft interviews were fine and made sense for the stated level that they were advertising for.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The usual. Describe a time when you had to deal with someone difficult, etc.
