Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redwood City, California

July 8, 2020
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview included:

  • 2 API questions
  • 1 system design question

The process felt biased. The interviewers were very domain-oriented and did not understand how to interview and judge people who were not from the same API and mobile domain as them. They were not generalists and asked custom questions.

While the interviewers were polite and helped along the way, this help was probably considered negative. I solved both API questions in time and with linear time, yet I still received a rejection for not being "up to par." This was confusing because it was not an algorithm question but an API process question.

In my opinion, it was an inconsistent and inconclusive process.

Questions

Some API usage. There are hundreds of APIs. Does it even matter?
