Software Engineer - New Grad Interview Experience - United States
Process
I applied online via their website and was invited to take an online assessment.
The online assessment questions were mostly LeetCode Easy/Medium difficulty problems. I passed all problems, however, sadly, I was not selected to move forward in the hiring process.
I would recommend plenty of programming practice, but do not sweat it too much.

Your mileage may vary with other orgsSoftware Engineering Technical Leader • Current EmployeeRemoteDecember 12, 2022Pros: The company seems to be embracing new tech. Fair pay.Cons: Contractors on some teams are treated with an enormous amount of disrespect by "blue badge" employees. I was one of these "blue badge" employees and hated seeing the contractors I worked with treated badly. Think rude language, lack of respect for working hours/time off, etc. The interviewers also lied to me by omission during the interview process. The team I interviewed to join was disbanded as soon as I joined, and the work/colleagues changed as a result. Absolutely unprofessional.
