Super Micro Computer Software Engineer interview: distracted interviewer

The conversation itself felt straightforward, but the tone made it awkward. The interviewer seemed distracted, almost as if they were reading from a prepared list. The focus was on my experience, projects, and technical work, with questions that probed more refined knowledge.

There was not much improvised back-and-forth in how the questions were delivered. I had to keep my answers organized and show that I understood the topics they kept circling. It challenged me differently from a coding round: less about producing code and more about communicating depth while the interviewer's attention felt split.

I did not receive an offer at this stage. I could answer the technical parts, but I could not lock in a good rapport, and the overall delivery did not help my confidence.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
