Software Engineer II Interview Experience - United States
Process
The best interview process by far that I had come across. The interview process took 2 weeks. I was approached by HR over email. They scheduled my phone interview of about 45 mins with a technical manager. Then they scheduled an onsite interview where I had one on one with six technical recruiters from the team for an hour each.
They were very friendly and professional. Interview questions were between easy to moderate. The questions were very wide scoped ranging from VLSI to algorithms and data structures. I was approached by the HR within 2 days with an offer letter. It's an excellent place to work. I could not be more happy!
Questions
Questions on projects from resume, timing analysis, algorithms like merge sort, data structures.
