      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      29 Aug 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Xcell Biosciences (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2022

      Interview

      There were 4 remote non-technical discussions, 1 with each level of the company. They all went very well and all said I was a good technical and personal fit for the company. An offer was made consisting of a very low base salary (relative to my experience, education and location) plus a small amount of stock options. A counter-offer was made for a more reasonable base salary. Then the company ghosted me. Interestingly, in between the interviews and discussions, one of the interviewers was fired. That interviewer reached out on LinkedIn to warn me about working here. This company is very unprofessional. Given this level of unprofessionalism and having seen their software, I don't think this company has a future. Consider this when they offer you a low salary + worthless stock options.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were no technical coding questions to speak of, more like general software engineering, process and architectural questions.
