      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      5 Dec 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Albert.io in Nov 2023

      Interview

      Spoke with a recruiter and then was given their case study, which is essentially a takehome project. I've done a number of takehome assignments and this one is by and large, the largest I have ever done. They want you to create a front end and back end web app for users to be able to look up stock prices and create watch lists. They give you a base application in Python. If you already know python, awesome, you can probably finish this pretty easily. If you don't know python, you are free to use another language, but it's still a large endeavor. I recently did a takehome for Cloudflare and it was half as much work. I am hesitant about take homes in general because whatever amount of time they generally say it will take, if usually takes me 3x that. In a world where swe engineer interviews are already awful, terrible things, when I already spend countless hours doing practice problems for the industry standard types of interviews (leet code style problems), it's really annoying to have to spend extra days doing things like this to not get anywhere. If it weren't for the terrible job market right now, I would probably avoid takehomes in general. If you prefer take homes, then go for it, but just know this one is very long
