      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      28 Apr 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Sony (Bengaluru) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      I applied and received a callback from Sony. The interview was scheduled for 1 hour on a Saturday. I joined 2 minutes early with my video on. The interviewer joined on time but kept his video off the entire time. Right after a quick "Hi [my name]", he started asking questions without introducing himself or his role. From the start, he seemed in a hurry. He frequently cut me off mid-answer and moved to the next question, even when I hadn't finished explaining. He also appeared to be listening for very specific wording – if my answer didn't match exactly what he had in mind, he would stop me. The whole Q&A lasted only about 20 minutes, after which he spent ~10 minutes summarizing what he thought he heard. The interview ended at 30 minutes (half the scheduled time). I had no chance to ask questions, clarify points, or even catch my breath. Having his camera off while I was on added to the impersonal, rushed feeling. The technical questions themselves were reasonable and relevant to my experience. However, the interviewer’s behavior was unprofessional – no introduction, video off, constant interruptions, and no space for a normal conversation. This was not what I expected from a company of Sony’s reputation. Advice to candidates: Be prepared for a fast-paced, rigid interview style where the interviewer may keep their camera off and not let you complete your answers. Don't expect a warm or conversational tone.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Sony (San Mateo, CA) in Dec 2023

      Interview

      First, there was an initial phone screen with a recruiter to cover the role, hiring process, and your experience. Then you have interviews with different engineers who are a part of the team you will work with. The questions are very technical but focus on your thought process which is nice.

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Sony (Chennai) in Jan 2023

      The interview process, which featured coding questions, was both challenging and analytical. It required a deep understanding of technical concepts and problem-solving skills. The experience was detailed and structured, with each task designed to assess various aspects of coding proficiency under time constraints. The process was dynamic and rigorous, demanding a methodical approach to problem-solving while adapting to different types of questions. The overall experience was engaging, intensive, and designed to evaluate practical and theoretical knowledge thoroughly.
