      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 25, 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Crelate (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2022

      Interview

      A fairly productive interview with the architect. An entirely unproductive interview with an angry-seeming junior software engineer. That would have been part of an interview loop going up to the CEO had I continued with it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Stone cold into a recursive linguistic tree problem that required multiple classes, discussion, diagramming, and iterative build/inspection approach, but had to do it in a flat web page with none of the usual tools you would use to query, plan, and resolve it. A waste of time off work with a convoluted high school problem unrelated to real-world day-to-day duties. Mostly about making the interviewer feel like the cleverest person in the room, so I bowed out.
