Files.com interview questions

Waste of time where they have a random person ask you pointless questions about "finding out as much about the customer as possible" but not to solve or ask anything regarding their tech even though it's a software engineer position. Made no sense to do this for 90 mins and solves nothing.

Received an invitation to take a CCAT test as well as a general technical assessment on the domain I was interviewing for. As unenthused as I feel about these kind of markers in determining a candidate's competency, it's a buyer's job market so what can ya do. The CCAT itself was a typical "IQ" + english fluency test so YMMV. The technical assessment was a hodgepodge of tech domain specific questions ranging from general definitions of specific tools to the esoterics like parsing regex and attribute prioritization. Some questions were reasonable, some were arguably not so make your best guess. I passed this round and had the typical recruiter call to go over logistics. The next round was a "roleplaying" exercise with a non-engr where you essentially act as a CX person chatting with a customer. Things were initially pleasant but halfway through the interview, I was accused of using AI tools. Apparently, the proof was that my responses sounded "robotic". I was stun locked to say the least and offered to share my screen to quell any suspicions but was shrugged off. At this point, for me, the interview was effectively over. The remainder of the time was spent going through the latter portion of the exercise and logistics. The ending was cordial. I withdrew my application after that. Getting falsely accused of cheating sullied what would have been a pleasant interview experience.
