      Backend Developer Interview

      27 Oct 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Photon

      Interview

      I cannot confirm ALL of the bad things mentioned in other reviews, however some of them really make sense. One company representative attended 2nd round interview, others skipped it. No names of the initial inerviewers from the invitation matched to who actually led it. Although, in the invitation it was recommended to have my own IDE up and running, the task was given at some foreign website. Company representative has no technical expertise and read all questions from some list, which made it impossible to clearify some details about the questions, no discussion was possible. The same with the test task. If something is not clear about it, there is noone to talk about it. There was also no information given about the company and the position. Hiring process in general is different from any other experience in the US. The company is likely ran by people from outside of the US, who do things like they used to in a foreign environment.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A few general technical questions, and one test task. Nothing especially problematic about the questions, difficulties were mostly about the process.
