Software Engineer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois

August 1, 2025

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

You get a technical OA, which I'm guessing is automatic. This is followed by interview rounds, leading to a fly-out to Chicago for an in-person interview, presumably whiteboard style. However, I didn't make it to the in-person stage.

Questions

There was a hard C++ LC question for the OA, so you get filtered out from that if you're not ready. The interview process isn't too hard, but the technical aspects are.
