SDE 1 Interview Experience

Process

I applied online.

First, I applied, and shortly after, I got an invitation to take the online assessment. The assessment was a LeetCode-style question along with a full-stack app you had to troubleshoot, told of some errors it had, and you had to search through the backend to fix (you could use a restricted AI helper for this). I bombed the LeetCode question and got a majority of test cases passed for the full-stack app.
