Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
First, they sent me a problem on HackerRank.
There was an HR screening where they told me all about the company and benefits, and asked a few questions.
Then, I went to a coding interview where I had to implement something related to the booking business, but it wasn't too hard.
After that, I had a system design interview, which I didn't fully solve.
And the last part was a cultural fit interview, where I talked to a manager for about 50 minutes.
Questions
They asked me regular stuff, like what I did on my last job and for some details about my previous experiences.
