Software Development Engineer I Interview Experience

September 1, 2024

Process

I was given an online assessment for the first round, with two programming questions in 70 minutes.

After passing, the final round consisted of three 60-minute interviews:

  • One was behavioral.
  • The other two were technical.

I really didn't enjoy the interview process.

My bar raiser was replaced with a new one last minute and clearly wasn't happy about it. The process felt intimidating and one-sided. My final interviewer was laughing during a technical question, which didn't feel great.

I'm confident in my skills and honestly feel like I dodged a bullet working for a company that works its employees into the ground.
