Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Pretty simple. It started with a one-hour phone screen with some questions about previous work. This was followed by three one-hour sessions with developers, covering a small live coding exercise (non-LeetCode), a discussion about the design system, and a culture chat.

The live coding part was pretty easy. I think they expected you to use Google, so extra points if you never used it.

The recruiter mentioned it was a very intense discussion to reject me. They suggested I reapply in a couple of months, as I might have just had one interviewer who didn’t like me for some reason, and most people said 'yes'.
