      Software Integration Programmer Interview

      15 Dec 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at MeridianLink

      Interview

      The recruiter e-mailed me to set up a time, she then sent me an invite with my name spelled incorrectly (as if it wasn't on my application, e-mail address, and resume, but okay.) She called the day of the interview to reschedule it for the next day. The following day she called and just seemed to be in a mood. She asked for my background/experience, and I told her I had just finished a computer science degree and I had interned over the summer. She then asked why I was looking for a job. To which I responded, "...I just finished school, so I'm looking for a job in my field." She then asked if I wanted to be a programmer, and I said, yes, that's what I went to school for and why I was applying for the role. The questions paired with her tone felt like I was doing something wrong by applying for an entry level job in my field of study as a new grad. It was a very weird and unprofessional experience, and even if the salary weren't offensively low, I would not have wanted to move forward in the interview process because she was so unpleasant. Also, the range of salary for this job is 50k-70k or something like that, which is well below the average, especially since this company is based in California. Do yourself a favor, and take your education and expertise somewhere that a recruiter might actually be pleasant to interact with, and that pays people what their skillset is worth. And whoever decided that these were acceptable questions should probably re-evaluate what questions should be asked depending on the candidate. Why was I, a new grad, asked why I was looking for a job in my field and if I wanted to do the thing I literally went to school for? It's just weird, and felt like something that should've just been implied based on my resume and the fact that I was applying for an entry role... in the field I went to school for...

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about your background. Why are you looking for a job? Do you want to be a programmer? Have you used this technology before? Are you familiar with these programming languages? How familiar are you with each? What is your salary expectation? Are you willing to go lower than that? How much lower?
