Software Development Engineer-1 Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I applied online. The process took 2 months.
There were three 1hr long interviews shuffled, I was just given the interview link and slots. The interviews happened one after the other so in a span of 3.5hrs I gave three interviews. The rounds were as follows:
- 1hr coding interview
- 1hr of behavioral / leadership principles
- 1hr of low level design with leadership principles
Questions
In the coding round, I was asked the Next Permutation question from LeetCode, but I had to find the 5th next permutation. The follow-up was to find the greatest possible permutation from the given digits.
Was this helpful?
