      Software Engineer Interview

      Nov 8, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Sonder

      Interview

      7 rounds at SF HQ. Super disorganized. 30 of 60 minute code challenge spent chatting while HR figured out guest WiFi password (the one on the sheet was wrong). Neither the engineering team nor people ops team understands how to conduct tech interviews effectively. This is reflected in the quality of the people who end up there. Sorry, not sorry.
