      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Feb 27, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Highfive in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Its a complete Scamster company. It should be completely avoided. Let me tell you my story and you can decide yourself before interviewing with them. I got to know about this company through LinkedIn(was glancing the companies close to my skill set) and found the job requirements of this company to be a very close match with my skill set. Few days after applying i got a standard reject mail , saying that they have decided to move forward with other candidates. Again after few days I received an email from HR that they would like to set up a phone screen. In the phone screen they would ask you to download their software either on desktop/phone/tablet and the interview is through video conferencing. Apart from the general format of the phone screens, here the interviewer would stress you to show the demo of their product rather than giving info about the role that you are interviewed for. I absolutely nailed the interview to the last bit and the interviewer told me that this is the exact solution he was looking for. Three days passed by ,I dint hear anything from them. Fourth day I mailed the HR and to my utter surprise I got a std automated reject mailed. I just happened to discuss this with my friend and he also told the exact same story. In fact this has happened with few people that I know of. After doing some research I found out that the sole purpose of scheduling the interview is the "demo" part and increase the download count of their app. If you really have nothing to do in life and time has got no value for you , then you should schedule a telephonic interview with this rogue company

      Interview

      Because of my previous experience, one of HighFive recruiter contacted me, and I have decided to had an interview process. First, I talked to one of the lead engineer for the backend side, and then I had a phone interview with one of engineer. I thought the interview went well because I solved the interview question pretty quickly but couldn't go to the onsite. I asked for feedback to the recruiter but no feedback so far.
