      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Yapstone

      Interview

      Instead of a friendly conversation to check what my skills and limitations are and if the company would be suitable for me and vice-versa, the interviewer had a inquisitive, unsympathetic tone. All my answers were replied with some kind of suspicion about what I just said. During the whole conversation he had a tense expression, as if he was interrogating someone and trying to find if I was lying. He mentioned that a lot of people wanted to work in that company but, when I asked why, he had very little to say besides working fully remote with people from different countries, which are common things since after the pandemic. He asked what was my proficiency with the english language. My resumé was in english and I exchanged e-mails in english with other recruiters before the interview. A five minutes conversation would have solved that question, but instead he kept speaking in our native language, still with a suspicious look. When I brought some serious personal problems that I faced in the past, he just wanted to know how did I stay "professionally relevant". He asked me a lot about my professional experiences and if it would fit on the job description, so I thought he had a strong technical background. But he had very little to say when I asked for more details about any technical topic. Overall, the interviewer seemed to have poor skills as an engineer and as a manager, so I wonder what the company expected from this interview with a candidate for a high level senior position. I had to sign a NDA for a interview. In more than 10 years of experience this is the first time that I see it. And yet, there wasn't anything mentioned during the interview that was relevant to a NDA. Everything just felt unnecessarily presumptuous. There isn't anything particularly endearing in the job description neither in what the company does. Some interviewers are of the type that behaves like she/he is doing a great favor by offering you a job, and this was one this cases.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yapstone (Walnut Creek, CA) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      Cleared an online test followed by a call for face to face interview.3 rounds went well and was positive, until I ran into an immature interviewer. Very Impatient considering the person was part of the top management. Bookish questions on corners of Java, which nobody would use. Expected answers probably read on internet. I carry experience in ecommerce and order management and have worked for 9+ years for one of the strong OMS product suite's in market. I carry no experience working for a payment system, however I know very well how to use the payment systems during the life cycle of an order. When they knew that from my resume, it would have made sense not to short list me. The interviewer lacked the maturity to understand, I could give the insights for product development of their payment systems, being from the commerce background, considering they wanted to enter the ecommerce and retail market. I was very positive about the company and had good thoughts, until I crossed ways with this interviewer. I lost my interest in the company and did not prefer working for them, in such an atmosphere. Got back from interview, did a little more research on the company and employees and interview process. I learnt from recent reviews that they were a bunch of favorites hired from Western Union, at high positions and I was not surprised to note, that the Interviewer was from the same league. In one of the reviews, it mentioned minions from Western Union. I had a good laugh when I read that. I am glad I did not get the opportunity to decide if I have to join Yapstone. In an interview process, I believe it is most important for the interviewers to sell the company to the interviewee, as much the interviewee tries to sell oneself.
