Software Engineer Interview Experience

August 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online, and a recruiter reached out to me. She was completely incompetent.

She considered me for an L6 position, though I was clearly eligible for L5. We had also discussed over a phone call that I would be eligible for L5.

I am unsure how or why she was confused.

Questions

Total of 4 rounds:

  • 2 design questions (for L6)
  • 1 manager round
  • 1 medium LeetCode
