JobNimbus Software Engineer interview questions

The recruiting manager was amazing, and the HR rep that gave me the pretour was super nice. The two software engineers I interviewed with were quite different. I was told the following phrases: "nothing about your knowledge is impressive", "your breadth of knowledge is shallow", and "you're not what we're looking for" and then I was walked out. I never had a chance to demonstrate code. The interview consisted of "guess what I'm thinking" on a variety of questions, sometimes very obscure, regarding languages they have experience with. I then had to do oral whiteboarding. I was forced to speak code like a verbal language to someone who would enter it into an console. They would give me attitude when they misheard or didn't enter it correctly. Then I was asked incredibly impractical coding questions (the sorts of things you'd never use on the job) and never got to use any real world tools, actually write code for them, or have a chance to talk about or demonstrate the skills I did have. It was clear they were looking for an expert that fit a very tight set of requirements exactly on their level, and nothing less and nothing adjacent. It felt like they were showboating then kicked me out. I was cordial from beginning to end and have never felt more disrespected and more trampled than by this interview. It was more of a highly specific interrogation that was entirely unrelated to real workplace relevancy, and then they were unfair in their feedback. I'm okay not being a good fit, I knew I wasn't fairly early in the interview, but their disrespect was uncalled for. They need to do some serious research on good interview techniques, make it relevant and practical, and ditch the oral whiteboarding. Let your candidates show you what they can do in a real world environment!
