      Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 26, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Axon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2023

      Interview

      One of the worst interview experiences I've had. I was given a take-home assignment with unclear objectives. I finished it and despite doing more than was required or asked, I was drilled in the interview for not doing enough, even though I had completed some things the interviewer criticized. When doing the assignment I actually stopped myself after many hours because I felt like I was over-engineering the solution, and I explained this to the interviewer. He did not care or take it into consideration, he just kept saying "sure, you did a, b, and c but you could've expanded on it further with x, y, and z" despite me mentioning all those things already. Also, his English was poor, and when trying to explain work scenarios or review the assignment, it was obvious that he did not comprehend what I was saying. How can I explain myself in an interview if there's a communication barrier? I've worked with enough talented engineers in my years of experience and done enough hiring to know what's fair criticism and what's not. I have also bombed interviews before and been given much-need criticism. This is not one of those times. I've worked with amazing engineers that would not have met the hidden expectations of this interviewer, and my guess is they're probably losing out on lots of great talent. I would suggest not even applying here or wasting hours of your life on the take home assignment.

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Axon (Seattle, WA) in May 2026

      Interview

      Round 1 — AI Behavioral Screening An automated AI bot round asking questions about your background and experience. No coding involved — purely behavioral. Treat it seriously as it's a real filter before moving forward. Round 2 — LeetCode Style Coding Round A standard technical coding round with algorithm and data structure problems. Be comfortable with your DSA fundamentals. Round 3 — Online Coding Assessment A timed coding assessment administered through an online platform. Similar to Round 2 but in a structured, proctored format. Practice working under time pressure. Round 4 — Behavioral Round with Engineering Director (Virtual) This is Axon's ACE behavioral round, conducted by a director-level engineering leader. Follows Axon's ACE values framework — expect deep STAR-style questions around ownership, cross-team collaboration, technical decision-making, and initiative. They will drill multiple levels deep on anything on your resume, so know your projects cold including the business context behind every decision. Don't treat this like a standard behavioral interview. Round 5 — Onsite (Seattle, In-Person) Final round in Seattle with senior engineering leadership. Behavioral in nature, focused on role fit, career trajectory, communication, values alignment, and AI readiness. More conversational than Round 4 but still rigorous. Come with a clear narrative on your career arc and genuine, specific reasons for wanting to join Axon.

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Axon (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      1hr - screen with Hiring Manager. C# .NET Questions. 4x 1hr technical interview. Leetcode style rounds Some behavioral questions sprinkled in the rounds. Interview lasted around a couple weeks. Most of the engineers were pretty chill. The Hiring manager seemed more effective and less emotive.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Axon

      Interview

      Hands down worst experience I ever had interviewing. The whole process is 3 rounds but you have to do all 3 in a row before they give you results. The interviewers for 2 of the rounds didn't show up at all and I had to reschedule. When one show up for the second time, he was very unapologetic and extremely unprofessional and rude. He's a director there so that tells you all about the company. Recruiter very hard to reach as well. All coding interviews very easy and even the good-to-haves were easy but still didn't get the offer. Communicated throughout as well. So not even sure what their criteria is.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We take feedback like this seriously, and we’re sorry to hear that your interview process did not meet the standard we aim to provide. What you described - missed interviews, difficulty reaching the recruiting team, and an unprofessional interaction - is not representative of how we expect our teams to operate. We are actively reviewing this feedback internally to address gaps in scheduling, communication, and interviewer conduct. Regarding interview outcomes, we evaluate candidates across multiple dimensions beyond technical performance, including collaboration, problem-solving approach, and alignment with role requirements. That said, we recognize that a lack of clarity can be frustrating, and we are working to improve how we communicate expectations and decisions throughout the process. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and wish you the best in your continued search.
