Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Literally one of the best I have seen. The interview itself was not difficult. The format is pretty standard:
A take-home section, which will then be discussed in technical screening with a developer. One full day of on-site or two half days.
What really stands out, however, is the professionalism and warmth this company has. For someone who has been around the block a few times, trust me when I say the reviews do not lie.
Questions
Straightforward interview questions.
Very fair and not overly difficult.
Also have a take-home section.
