Weave Company- Unprofessional Interviewer

Sharing my interview experience for grapvine audience. I applied to this company called Weave for Software Engineer role.

  1. Recruiter call was very good
  2. Coding round 45mins - a. Interviewer wasted 30mins Asking irrelevant questions for the coding round. b. Asked why my current company uses AWS instead of other cheaper cloud providers like GCP, Azure etc, as if I am CTO at my employer. c. Asked Hr questions like why I am looking for switch and what is my tenure at current company, it was totally irrelevant to coding round. d. Asked manipulative question to frame me, "What is the strength of my current engineering team?", I answered 5 engineers, SDE2, staffs etc. He then put his narcissistic comment "If I don't consider EM and PMs as a strength of the team" as in strength-weakness manner. e. Wasted 30mins in these BS questions and then gave a coding question which I solved with working code and he was satisfied with it. f. I was already shocked by his un-professional behaviour, to add to it he extended another 15mins to interview by asking follow up tech questions. g. I knew it's something wrong with this interviewer, then he started asking from which place in the country I am from. I was not in a mood take anymore of his BS, so I gave vague answer mentioning my State in India, he yet started pressuring me to tell exact city.

Don't know how this interviewer was a senior engineer at that company with such foolish behaviour.

Even after coding a working solution and acknowledgement by interviewer.

I got rejection email saying "rejected due to my coding round".

I ain't taking such BS and un-professional behaviour, so I reported entire interview details to recruiter and Head HR of that company, it's totally unacceptable for interviewers to waste time of candidates with their incapability, bias and un-professional behaviour.

I got response that they will look into this matter internally and such behaviour is totally not acceptable

People promoted too soon into leadership roles without any training are the worst. Once you realise more than 80% of the managers are like this!! They think having a title makes them superior and better skilled

5 mins for general warming up is appreciated. But more than 5 is way too casual for a technical round
