Hey guys, I recently had an on-site w Disney Streaming. I was expecting an offer but I guess not, interviews went really well besides one. The one that went badly was supposed to be behavioral but thé interviewer just told me it’s going to be technical.. I was like ok cool I don’t mind I guess, his accent was pretty strong so it was barely comprehensible but I didn’t mind. 5 minutes into the introductions, the interviewer starts asking me super low level stuff and using acronyms that he clearly googled, nothing relevant to what I would be doing on a day to day. This is a backend position, and he asked me how a react dom like actually worked on a lower level like how it’s designed and so on, even to a compiler level I’m like dude come on .. He was a little patronizing when I didn’t know the answer like he was a school teacher and I was a student. The relevant technical answers he asked were clearly stuck in a time capsule in 2014. (Mind you this was supposed to be behavioral but I think he was HM so maybe that’s why? ) Anyways thx for listening, just a little frustrated 😔 Also, if anyone can give referral to following companies it would be great!

Backend position and the interviewer was asking about low level React implemention details? You dodged a bullet.
Yea I even told him that’s not something practical so I really don’t know .. in a polite way ofc ..
I’ve had similar experiences before, it’s common once you interview with a lot of companies. Just bad luck, move on. Sometimes the opposite will happen. I’ve legitimately bombed some interviews but the interviewer still passed me 🤷♀️. Just a numbers game in the end.
true :)

Do you want him to be your colleague?
that is true… it was just a little post rant to get it out of my system :)
Write a feedback about your interview experience and share with the recruiter. Be honest and candid. You can talk about both what you like and don’t like. The intention is to help them improve (if they are willing to)
