Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks.

The process started with a brief 30-minute phone screening with a recruiter, focusing on my background and resume. After that, I was invited to a technical video interview with a senior engineer. This round lasted about 60 minutes, starting with a brief introduction, followed by a live coding challenge on a shared editor, and ended with a few questions about system design basics and my past projects.
