Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The interview process is normally composed of many rounds, but I was able to speed run it using an external recruiter. It included an initial HR interview, followed by two technical rounds before a final on-site interview. The two technical rounds consisted of a standard DSA problem (graphs) and a collaborative system design question.
