Software Development Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The process was smooth so far, with delayed responses but not too much.

I applied in August and my application went through in September.

I was rejected after the technical interview. A lot of friends got questions like palindromes and similar problems from a bootcamp student recruiter, which were literally 6 lines of code.

I did not have such luck. I got a breadth-first search problem, which I solved, but not efficiently. This was probably the reason why I was rejected.

Questions

Standard behavioral questions and a breadth-first search algorithm problem.
