Hi and welcome on board! Thank you for sharing your experience on our interviews. We believe that your input is extremely helpful for those who plan to join SoftServe as a .NET software engineer.
I was given a long list of prerequisite questions before the technical interview to self-asses my abilities. The person who interviewed me at the technical interview was OK. However, there was tension between us, and I never felt at ease. No matter how I answered the questions, they always just nodded and nothing else.
