Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The process was very lengthy, including three almost identical coding screens using HackerRank.

I reached the final round and had four panel interviews scheduled. However, after the first two, I was emailed and told that due to an overabundance of candidates, they were cancelling all future interviews.

I received zero feedback on the interviews I had already completed and am left wondering what might have happened had my recruiter scheduled my interviews quicker. I waited several weeks for availability.

Overall, the process was handled unprofessionally.

Questions

Pretty standard coding questions, equivalent to LC medium/hard.

I didn't always arrive at the final answer, and was still put through to the next round. It seems they care more about the thinking process.
