      Senior Software Engineer In Test Interview

      4 Jul 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Madrid
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Elastic (Madrid) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      4 overall interviews that ended with an offer that I declined. The role was in Spain (relevant for a later point). All was great till we reached the offer stage where the contract conditions where hostile towards the employee! Contract clause like: - Manager controlling working hours at will including shift hours without employee having a say - When sick or having an emergency, an employee have till 9AM on the first day to report sickness or emergency! - Health insurance with one of the worst providers in Spain (for example on one site the provider has a staggering 1 start with more that 400 detailed review) - Clause stating that employee benefits can be canceled whenever they want without prior notice. When I asked for clarifications and adjustment to have the contract more friendly for employees (for example having more time to report if i'm sick or that my workweek is normal and not under absolute control of someone else at will) I got a message saying that they are not going to discuss nor change any parts of the contract and they understand if i don't want to continue.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      All the interviews where a different version of "talk about your experience" talking to different levels of engineers (e.g. Tech leads, Engineering managers, Engineering Director)
