Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days.

It is really hard to even get in, and it has to be through referrals. Once you're in, the interviews are definitely domain-oriented. It is overall pretty reasonable if you pass all the initial screens.

Questions

There was a lot of LLD for the technicals, like designing a bank account.
