Principal Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process consisted of multiple rounds, starting with recruiter screening, which took around 3-4 weeks. This was followed by two screenings with the hiring manager, including a long coding exercise, and then panel rounds: two coding, two behavioral, and one system design/presentation.

The interview process was extremely lengthy, involving seven rounds, only to be rejected based on skill set. This felt quite insensitive, as it seemed the company should not have pursued candidates without a strong skill match from the start. Additionally, while I shared a detailed presentation during the process, it appears that these interviews might also be used to gather ideas from candidates.
