      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 21, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Munich, Bavaria
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Stylight (Munich, Bavaria) in May 2015

      Interview

      It was a 20 min Skype discussion with one of their tech recruiters who seemed to know very little about technology, it looked like that person was more interested in my non technical skills, this was apparent because I wasn't asked a single technical question or my accomplishments till date in my field of work. Having more than 10 years of work experience I felt that the process of this company is very naive where the entire decision making process is handled by a single person with non technical background, it won't matter if you are a great software engineer you will not move to the next round until you impress them by answering their naive questions. A week after interviewing I was sent an email with a standard template of rejection.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Boring questions like: Why should we hire you? Why are you looking for a change? Tell me about a situation where you handled this or that? What are your weaknesses? What can you bring to our company apart from your technical skills?

      Dear applicant, Thank you very much for your honest feedback. We really appreciate your input. This helps us a lot to continuously optimize our recruiting process. We sincerely apologize that we could not meet your expectations. As you might have seen on our website, our recruiting process consists of several steps. Due to the large amount of candidates it is not possible for us to proceed with all of them to the next recruiting step. Since we work very closely with each other across different functions and departments, we take great care of understanding a candidate’s motivation and their possible contribution to the company. We are sorry that you felt the questions were not reflecting your background well. If you would like to discuss your experience in further detail, please feel free to add me on Xing or LinkedIn. I would be happy to answer all your questions and take your recommendations into consideration. We wish you all the best for your future career. Best regards, Sandra
