Software Development Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Multiple recruiters reached out concurrently. They seemed pretty disorganized with tracking candidates.

I ended up connecting with a great recruiter and did an online assessment (OA). It then took forever to get lined up for a full interview loop. This involved over two months of back-and-forth, applying to different teams after I completed the OA, with the recruiter's help.

The quality of the interviewers during the full loop was pretty mixed. They didn't seem engaged, and one might have been multitasking. I wish the interviews had been in person. The questions themselves were mostly fair.

Questions

Each round included 15 minutes on leadership principles and approximately 30 minutes to solve a technical problem.

There was one system design round and three coding rounds.
