Sr. Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.

The interview process was straightforward. After the recruiter screening, I had a conversation with the head of engineering. He asked about my projects and past experiences.

The next round was a system design round, pretty straightforward, but they did ask me a few networking concepts, even though the role was for a backend software engineer, and I had specifically mentioned I do not know core networking. I could not clear this round even though I answered all the interviewer's questions; maybe I was docked for the lack of networking concepts.
