Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 days.

It had four rounds:

  • The first one was with a Software Engineer, where he asked me a coding question and one leadership principle.
  • The second round was with a senior software engineer who asked me a system design question, and a low-level design one.
  • The third round was with the manager of the team. He wanted to see my coding skills, so he asked me a very real-life thing, not a LeetCode-style question. It was not tough, but you had to apply your coding logic because it is an unseen question. Also, he asked me one question about how you use AI.
  • The fourth round was just a bar raiser where he asked me three leadership principle questions.
