      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      7 Apr 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Optiva

      Interview

      The interview process was very strange. You basically need to be referred. Once I got called by accident because they thought I got referred. The hiring HR was annoyed by the fact that I didn't get referred. The interviewer asked me again about that thing. Basically you waste your time here if you are nobody. Maybe it's scam since they announce the job opportunities publicly, but looking for someone internally. The process was also quite out-to-date. They ghosted me for3-4 months before contacting me again. They didn't even use some tools like Calendly to arrange the meeting. To add insult to injury, your role will not match what they described in the job description because it will be decided before you join. Your final role could be janitor even though you apply as software engineer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The questions are very broad. it's basically taking exam for college. They asked anything from networking stuff, textbook software development things, devops/infra things. I think it's scam because they basically want 3-4 roles (network engineer, software engineer, DevOps engineer) for 1 role. Not to mention that it is for senior role where textbook questions will not do you any good. Experiences matter.
