Sierra Nevada Software Engineer interview experience

No offer

Hard

Negative

United StatesPosted Mar 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My early momentum was good: I had an initial interview that went well, and then I was scheduled for a second round with another software engineer.

I walked in expecting the same level of professionalism, but that quickly changed.

The second interview was hostile and disruptive. The interviewer was yelling, wouldn’t let me finish answers, and interrupted me repeatedly mid-sentence. Even though we were scheduled for about 30 minutes, the conversation ended after roughly 10, and I didn’t even get a chance to ask any questions.

I never received an offer. The experience was so uncomfortable that it wasn’t just a “didn’t fit” outcome—it felt like a breakdown in basic interview etiquette, and it made me decide I didn’t want to work there.
