Software Development Engineer (SDE) II Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Process

A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn and invited me to apply. The recruiter was very opaque with the salary, and I had to ask them three times before they gave me a range.

About a week later, I took a coding assessment on HackerRank. Two weeks after that, I had a four-round virtual on-site interview.

For the behavioral questions, there were two to four asked per round. If you prepare one to two STAR responses for each leadership principle, you will be more than well-prepared.

The interviews were very one-sided. I got less than five minutes to ask questions in each round and walked away from the experience with a lot of questions about the role. As a result, I declined the offer.
