      Full Stack Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at The Washington Post (Edgewater, MD)

      Interview

      I had an interview with two guys it was actually a pretty good interview. Very friendly, they asked a set of open ended questions pertaining to my experience. Afterwards I got to ask my questions then I was told I get the next steps in about a week. Three weeks later and I’ve heard nothing from them. I think it’s pretty rude to just blatantly disregard someone applying for a position. Even a generic rejection email would be better than just have someone waiting and continuously looking out for a reply that’s never coming. Which is why even though the actual interview and interviewers were good the process as a whole gets a negative from me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Give a time where you had to lower your coding standards for an upcoming due deadline on a project.
