      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ally Financial (Charlotte, NC) in Sept 2023

      Interview

      Just 1 round. 30 min. Took 3 weeks to set up the interview after a phone call from a recruiter. The interviewer was unprofessional. Did not show his face. Did not introduce himself. Just start to ask questions.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ally Financial in Oct 2021

      Interview

      The first interview was a discussion on my background. This went well. The next interview happened a few days later. It felt like a hazing. The group consisted of a main interviewer and 5 or 6 others. There was a chaotic period of technical and behavioral questions being asked by different people who may or may not have identified themselves. Most of the interviewers were audio only even though I was on video. I'd guess ten to fifteen questions were asked. One person asked me what question I would ask myself, then asked me to answer that question. The coding challenge was next. It was presented on a sandbox site and I was allowed to search the web if needed. Part of the code was already done. While trying to acclimate myself to the finished code and the written instructions, I was rushed to complete it while the voice(s?) kept interrupting with leading questions, more instructions, and snide remarks. I was expected to (all at once) : 1. do the task 2. listen to instructions 3. discuss what I was thinking 4. state what I was searching the web for - definitely felt their wrath for this one. I was flustered and deflated by the end of the interview. Someone said it was nice to meet me, then the call abruptly disconnected. As a person of color, I have experienced various degrees of disrespect and negative attitudes on interviews. No difference here.
