      Software Development Engineer Interview

      10 Oct 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Origin in Sept 2021

      Interview

      THINK TWICE before you want to move forward with this company. You have to spend a lot of time preparing for the final interview!!! I thought I was doing okay but got rejected. The recruiter got feedback from the team: "You lacked experience in Agile or working with customers. Also, you didn't show enough interest in the company because you didn't ask them a lot of questions about their project." WHAT A JOKE! If I am not interested, I would not spend that much time making the presentation PowerPoint, making all of the diagrams, and writing the summary. I am applying for my first SDE job, they knew I didn't have SDE work experience at the beginning so why didn't just reject me at the beginning? Why waste my time doing so much preparation for the final interview? These were my interview process: 1. A recruiter contacted me to do a quick 15 mins phone screen. 2. A technical phone screen. He asked some behavioral questions and an easy coding problem. 3. Final interview: they required you to prepare a 1-hour long presentation and a written summary about human access to space. After the presentation, I was interviewed by the hiring manager who only asked behavioral questions, then two people interviewed me about an App design, finally, two people had an easy coding problem for me. I thought I was doing okay but got rejected.

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Origin (Kent, WA) in Jul 2022

      Interview

      First round was a phone call, asking general interest questions, background, skills, etc. and a simple coding question. Second round was 3 hours. I presented two projects I worked on for the first hour, and the next two hours I answered technical software/coding questions and general questions about my experience.
