Software Development Engineer I Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

April 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Round 1: OA.

Cleared in November 2024.

No word until February 2025 when I was told I was scheduled for interviews. A week later, they wrote back stating that email was sent "by mistake" and should not be considered. Another recruiter reached out in early March, and it took a whole month to schedule the loop round.

Round 2 - Loop:

  • Interview 1 was with a Senior SDE, testing System Design and LPs.
  • Interview 2 and 3 were with Engineering Managers.
    • Interview 2 focused solely on DSA.
    • Interview 3 focused solely on LPs.
