The worst dev experience was having to interview people for job openings. I already dislike having to be the interviewee. I don’t like being the interviewer because I haven’t had a great experience with it. I’ve had a lot of people tell me what they think I want to hear instead of just answering my questions.

Surprisingly, the best was working with a recruiter for our open roles. The candidates from the recruiter were really great. Personally, I don’t have great experience with recruiters when I’m the one looking for a job. But for this case of my employer using one, it worked out. IDK if those candidates would have applied without the recruiter.

    Oh. I have a related story. We hired someone who I absolutely did not like during our interview but my manager trumped over me.

    And guess what. The two months I had working with him was the worst experience of my career.

    To this day, I still hold it against my ex-manager (we have a good relationship) and wonder how it would have been if we hired the person we both liked (but interviewed a week after we extended offer to the previous person)
