Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I started with a technical screen, which asked about LRU cache. This was followed by a loop interview about a week later, consisting of four rounds: three technical rounds with a behavioral section, and one system design round with a behavioral section.
I was not selected at the end. The reason is unknown, as they did not share feedback.
Questions
Each technical round will have a LeetCode/HackerRank/GFG medium-hard level question.
