Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I met with two engineers first and had a technical interview. Then, I had a system design interview with the hiring manager.
The interview questions on the first two interviews were very basic and would probably categorize as easy or at most medium on LeetCode.
The system design interview was very open.
I think I got rejected because there was no cultural fit, which I also felt during the process.
