      Software Engineer Interview

      26 Feb 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Teradata

      Interview

      Behavioral interview on the phone that lasted about 30 mins followed by a phone chat with an engineering that also lasted about 30 mins. The first behavioral interview was with HR and it was very pleasant. The recruiter was polite and we had I was able to learn a lot about the company as well as talk about my own technical experience. The phone chat, scheduled 2 days after, was the worst experience I ever had in my life. The engineer was very, very rude. Part of it was my fault. When asked if I wanted tocommit into the database team for a 3+ years I wrongly said that I wanted to explore more fields and try out new things before committing. To which he replied "I'm not going to pay you to do someone else's work". I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. I genuinely tried my best to laugh it off and pacify the situation (maybe he was having a bad day) but he kept on taking it so personally. At one point I said (with more stuttering/stammering then described here) "Look I'm not trying to antagonize you- this is just where I am. I'm a new grad. I need space to learn things not specific to my job description. " but he replied with "I'm not against learning" but the company isn't putting money into our team "to help you get into another company". The interview pretty much went downhill from there with me trying to explain that "learning new things" does not mean "doing someone else's work". But he just wouldn't accept that. Again, part of it is my fault. It is true that there is a risk in hiring a new grad that is looking to explore- he might find that it is boring and quit. But to simply accuse me of using Teradata as a stepping stone for not willing to form a 3+ commitment on the 2nd interview is just wrong. And quite frankly, unprofessional and rude. The job application even said "Software Engineer" not "Database Internals" so excuse me if I didn't expect to be pushed into a commitment. Overall, I'm just deeply disappointed. I was very excited to work with Teradata since my interest aligned very well. But I never, in my life, expected to get into an argument with such an obstinate, rude recruiter. Though this specific experience does not categorize Teradata as a whole, I'm sure Teradata is great company that does great work, but this was absolutely the most outrageous, enraging interview ever.
