SWE New Grad Interview Experience - New York, New York

Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Expect some combination of:
- DSA / LeetCode-style problems (arrays, strings, trees, graphs, DP if they’re feeling dramatic)
- System design (if it’s backend or SWE II level)
- Practical coding + discussion
- Debugging or code review
They’re checking:
- Can you think clearly under pressure?
- Do you communicate while coding?
- Do you actually understand tradeoffs or just memorize patterns?

Pros: Free chips and soda. If you work long hours and work for 1.5 persons' man-hours, you will get a 10k bonus.
Cons: They make you work 10 to 12 hours and pay only 8 hours for consultants. The architecture is crappy. Any one line of Java code you change, and since you're using free Jetty, it takes 30 minutes to build the project. Why can't they use WebSphere/RAD, which picks up hot deployment automatically? I wonder if the great mayor knows about these bad practices. Somebody should take action.
No balance between work-life and personal life.
