The interview from hell: I accepted a phone screen interview for the "Software Engineer" position that I found on a job posting forum. The interview invite did not mention a video call and it did not mention anything about sharing any personal code, open source code, or code from previous jobs. Right off the bat, the interviewer mentioned that this would be a video call, not a phone call, and to join the link they just sent me to my email. I joined the video call and went with the flow; however, there was no mention of a video call in the original interview invite and I work remotely, so I wasn't dressed properly for an interview. We dove into technical details, asked me about my experience, etc. Later in the call the interviewer asked to see some recent code I'd worked on - this was not mentioned previously. I do not normally contribute to open source software, but I do have a side project, so I tried to find something to show in my side project that I was proud of. After showing some of my code that I recently worked on and was proud of, the interviewer noticed one of my pages was a bit slow (a different set of code) so this person said "Let's look into why it's slow" - already really annoyed at this process, I reluctantly agreed to dig through some crap code I'd written months ago for fun. The interviewer 'debugged' my code - actually got the root cause of the problem wrong - and made some snarky comments. After feeling completely defeated by sharing some bad code, the interview went on with more technical questions. I was capable of answer all, but one. I hit a wall when I did not know the answer to one technical question - to which my response was "I don't know, I've never dug into that before" - since this was a video interview, I immediate saw his face drop and his body language went from positive to completely negative. I knew the interview was over right then and there. The interviewer asked if I had any questions - I was generally interested in the company and wanted to know about the company. I asked about the company culture on a fully distributed team and asked about yearly company get-togethers. Half way through the interviewers' answer, they got off track and said "... well, you know, sometimes we just have to tell candidates they're not suited for the role. We're looking for a tech lead to mentor younger engineers..." and then they barely continued their answer to my actual question. The role I applied for was "Software Engineer" not "Senior Software Engineer" not "Tech Lead". The role and description I applied to did not mentioned anything about what this interviewer was looking for. The interview process was a nightmare. I don't know of this person didn't have a structured process to interview and just "winged" it, or if they generally have a terrible interviewing process at Aha. Unfortunately the experience was so bad, I'll never apply here again.
