Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

August 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Cleared the first screening round; LeetCode was asked. It was not too bad.

The Loop was scheduled nearly one month after the initial screening. The recruiter coordinator changed once.

It was projected as an AI role, and I prepared accordingly.

The DSA and Problem Solving round was held by seniors who were nice.

The LLD and HLD rounds were awkward. The interviewers in both rounds seemed inexperienced, as they were not able to understand my AI background. I wasted a lot of time explaining what I was working on.

I asked literally a lot of clarifying questions in the technical rounds, but none of them were communicated properly. They were very uncooperative.
