Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
I had a recruiter call and an EM call, both of which went fine. After that, they scheduled a live coding interview (the last technical round, which lasted 2 hours) but later mentioned a take-home assignment.
The assignment was supposed to be completed in 2 hours, but that timeframe was incorrect. I spent a good chunk of my time on it, and they later rejected me. Unprofessional!
Questions
Take-home assignments where they want to focus on clean code and well-documented code.
