Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I briefly met with one of the managers and had a behavioral interview. We talked about tech, but did not do any algorithm questions.
Once I got past that, I was called in for an interview that lasted about 2.5 hours. I met with other senior managers and chatted with them one-on-one. I didn't really do any algorithm questions during those discussions. We did discuss tech stacks and why we would use one technology over another.
After that, I received a take-home assignment, which required me to build a small web application using React and Redux. I was applying for a front-end role, which made sense. The application was a stock screener that retrieved data from an API they had suggested and displayed some security information.
After that, I received the offer.
