Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Phone Screen, Take-Home Project, Virtual Onsite

The phone screen is with a recruiter who will talk you through the process. Then, you'll be asked to complete a take-home project, which is designed to be quite "realistic". If you perform as expected, you will then proceed to a virtual onsite interview.

The virtual onsite consisted of:

  • Two technical interviews (one for design and one about your take-home project)
  • Three behavioral interviews

The technical interviews are what really matter. You must be perfect to pass; otherwise, you'll be rejected a few days later.

I slipped up on a small part during the take-home project discussion and was rejected.

Also, ignore the company blogs regarding hiring practices; they don't act on what they say.
