Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - New York, New York
February 2, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months.
- Apply via referral
- Phone screen
- Virtual onsite (back-to-back): 2 tech + 1 hr
- EM round
Failed the second tech round VO2, the interviewer does not seem to understand my solution.
Questions
- Phone screen: Validate Binary Search Tree (LC 98 or something) + Decode String
- VO 1: Word match (like "aapll"->"apple" based on the given dictionary) + Binary Tree Vertical Traversal
- VO 2: Tilt the marble - it seems this coding problem was designed by the interviewer. I am convinced I came up with a solution with linear time complexity and wrote my code, but he did not seem to understand my solution. Also, he had a strong accent.
