Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience

February 9, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

There are 5 rounds in total. The initial screening round is also a coding round, and every round is a knockout round. If you clear the screening, you get an invite for a super day where they ask you to keep at least 4 hours available.

Questions

In screening, I was asked one design question (they expected me to think in a way they wanted, even if not perfect) and one coding question: magic index (given an array, find an index where both sides of the array will be equal).

Then, on super day, the first round was to code a Spotify song recommender. The interviewer gave me a specific part of the class he was expecting with test cases. There were a lot of follow-ups in both rounds, including standard resume-based questions.
