Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

April 1, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied on their careers website and was promptly scheduled for a phone screen.

The phone interview questions were easy, and I was able to solve them. I was immediately called for an onsite interview, which I scheduled within a week.

Onsite interviews started with a two-hour programming question. The second interviewer asked questions related to my projects and then proceeded with an architecture design question.

The third interview was a lunch interview. Afterward, the recruiter informed me that they could not proceed further in the interview process.

Questions

Onsite Interview:

  • The first interviewer presented a Python package on GitHub and asked me to make changes to it based on their project requirements.

Following these interviews, the recruiter informed me that they could not proceed further.
