4,347 principal engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Two highly unprofessional guys took my interview. It was looking like they were taking interview first time. didn’t even know how to take interview and how to behave properly during interview. I would request the organisation to give training to these kind of people so that they can learn how to take interviews. Both were very very rude. They had asked to open my webcam but their cameras were off. I think its both way communication, it doesn't mean the candidate is giving an interview should be demotivated while asking questions. It's very easy to sit on the other side of the table and treat the candidate badly without respect.
