Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
I received an email from a recruiter three months after applying.
The next round was a 45-minute coding assessment.

I figured out the hardest part of the problem by myself but needed a hint for the other part.
I wrote up the entire solution and did not pass.
So unnatural.
