Principal Software Engineer Interview Experience

March 1, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process was long and then it just abruptly ended. I had interviews over the course of two months:

  • Coding challenge
  • System design
  • Full stack interview

Each of these seemed to go really well, and I received great feedback. However, the recruiter didn't give me any specific feedback and stated they were not continuing the process. He asked if I wanted feedback, and I responded that I did, but I never received any. Oh well.

Questions

The coding challenge was in Java. I had to sort a data structure and write a comparator.

For the full-stack interview, you just explain how a request-response flow works from beginning to end and how authentication works, etc.

For systems design, you design REST APIs (no code) through white-boarding.
