Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Silicon Valley Bank (San Jose, CA).
Entrevista
Initial calls went fine. For phone interview, interviewer asked me a question and I’m trying to talk through the problem and walk through what I am thinking (as is advised for any engineering interview). While I’m doing that, he interrupts me and says “it’s ok just tell me your solution once you are done”. At that point it was followed by 20min silence of me writing my solution and him just being there quiet. I had already checked out at that moment and was not interested in the position. Shortly after I emailed the recruiter to withdraw my application. The worst interview I have ever encountered in my professional career.

Terrible company as far as interviewing goes. Recruiter reached out and set up interviews. Three rounds and they all went extremely well.
I didn’t hear back after 3 weeks so I finally decided to follow up with emails. It’s been 2 months and haven’t heard back from anyone.
Weird thing is, I was overqualified for the position. Not sure who else they found..

Technical questions in my field. Best practices, etc. Pretty standard

Entrevista
Several different recruiters have attempted to send me to SVB, claiming they have a lot of openings for someone with my particular skills.
I decided to follow up on one of these and had a very awkward interview. The interviewer was completely uninterested in my skills and totally focused on the very specialized requirements of his own area of expertise, and it became clear very quickly that I was interviewing for a role in which my qualifications are minimal and my interest is non-existent. I even tried to make this clear. Not intending to be presumptuous or overly assertive, it's a fact that I have a broad range of skills that this organization claims to be searching for, but when I gave them an opportunity to attract me, they put me into a very awkward position, and apparently no way of getting from there to where I might get to talk to someone who would understand what I'm good at and how that would be of value to them.

Pergunta 1
Very specific questions about areas that are entirely outside my (quite extensive) area of expertise and almost completely outside the normal expectations for my role.
