BuildOps Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Call with recruiter -> Cosing challenge -> 4 in person interviews. The in person interviews were streamlined and fast, about 30m each. Have coffee beforehand, but the nice thing is you go through them pretty fast. That said, don’t rush things - just stay focused on the task at hand.

This experience has been disappointing and one of the worst interview experiences I have had for several reasons: * The recruiter was rude and strictly followed a script that lacked important context about the role, company, or teams involved. * No effort was made to provide a clear understanding of the company or the position, which left me with no insight into what the role entailed or what teams are currently hiring. * The recruiter did not discuss anything about the company. The lack of detail about the company’s teams or operations was a significant omission in the conversation. * Despite explaining that commuting was not an issue, the recruiter overly focused on location, which was a barrier to continuing the interview process. This was concerning, as I am not far from the office and had already expressed my flexibility. * The recruiter briefly mentioned compensation but did so rudely and inflexibly. While I understand that certain commitments need to be made, the conversation felt rushed, with no room for negotiation or discussion of potential salary bands based on seniority. * The recruiter misled me, stating they would follow up, but never did. If the location was truly a deciding factor, I would have preferred straightforward feedback instead of being promised a follow-up that never came. * Overall, the experience gave me a negative impression of the company culture. The recruiter's approach and lack of transparency and communication make me hesitant to continue any process with this company. 
 This type of experience, particularly from a recruiter, speaks volumes about the company's culture.
