      Software Engineer Interview

      Jun 6, 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Newport Beach, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Obsidian Security (Newport Beach, CA) in May 2022

      Interview

      After an initial phone screen, the interview is broken down into 4 phases: 1. Behavioral/product demo 2. Technical interview 3. Systems design interview 4. Interview with an executive The executive interview was very strange. He was actually critical of my background and seemed upset about previous companies I had worked for. Needless to say, I did not receive an offer.

      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Obsidian Security (Palo Alto, CA)

      Interview

      The interview process was lengthy and it took them a while to get back to me. The online assessment was quite tricky and the examples provided seem to be designed to trick the applicant.

      Software Engineer Interview

      May 23, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Newport Beach, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Obsidian Security (Newport Beach, CA) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      Pretty sloppy operation honestly, was stood up by their recruiter 3+ times for the initial phone interview. Finally I was redirected to a senior dev who actually called me. After the initial phone interview I went in for an in person interview, no real technical questions just high level "design" questions, experience questions, ect. Then i was ghosted, not even the courtesy to tell me they are passing on me.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. The Obsidian Team is disappointed to read about your experience during the interview process and would like to offer a sincere apology. All of us do our best to invest equal time and attention to all candidates but admittedly, sometimes the ball gets dropped. We are in a high growth period and moving fast which can result in less than perfect processes. This is no excuse. We’re working to improve things on our end and have only the best intentions with all our candidates, teammates, partners, and customers. There’s a reason start-ups are often referred to as “Organized Chaos”, but we hope to do a better job at shielding future candidates from the pain points you may have experienced. Best of luck with your search. This feedback will help us raise the bar.
