      Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 25, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SmartBarrel in Jul 2025

      Interview

      The interview process was unprofessional and uncomfortable. The interviewer began with inappropriate personal questions about my nationality and immigration background. Given current geopolitical tensions, this felt biased and irrelevant. Technical questions focused only on Nuxt.js, ignoring that Vue.js is the foundation. It felt more like trying to expose weaknesses than fairly assess skills. Communication was very poor. The interviewer’s English was difficult to follow, technologies were mispronounced, and I had to ask for clarification, making the interview frustrating and unproductive. The overall tone was dismissive, including comments like wanting to “interview good engineers first.” No feedback was ever provided afterward. Overall: The process reflected bias, poor communication, and a lack of professionalism. I would not recommend interviewing here unless the company improves its interviewer training and evaluation practices.
