Associate Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

Phone screen with a recruiter
Tech-ish screen with a senior engineer on a different team

Everyone I talked to was very friendly, and it was overall a good interview process. The questions I got in the tech interview were not ones I was expecting based on the job description or research I did on other roles. The tech interviewer didn't know much about the specific team I was interviewing for, or anything about the hybrid structure, as he was remote.

I tried to include as many questions as I could recall to help others.

Questions

What do I know about software development 10+ years ago (before React)?

What's a web portal that I use every day that I like?

How often am I using SQL or working with people who are?

Talk about how I applied one of (my choice) pillars of OOP to a project.

Experience with using/knowledge of AI and machine learning.

What's my favorite daily-use web portal?

August 31, 2025

Pros: I joined CVS out of college, so it was my first full-time job as a software developer. I joined under one of their university programs, so I had great benefits such as traveling to a few big cities in the state, like New York. I worked with great teams, and management was good, too. I worked remotely, so work-life balance was good. But I also feel like I worked a lot because "work" was always there with me at home, and I could log in any time.

Cons: Not really cons. I feel fortunate to have had this job since it was remote, so I had very flexible hours. But like I said, it felt like work never ended. I changed a few managers in my nearly 3 years there; not sure if that was bad. Unfortunately, I was laid off due to their financial mistakes of acquiring new companies at really expensive valuations. But oh well, life happens, and one moves on. Overall, I cannot complain. Work is work, and in my experience, at least, it was good.

A decent place to work, but not very tech-focused

Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

November 11, 2025

Pros: I worked with some great people.

Cons: They're moving in the wrong direction with tech decisions, pushing forward quickly with little regard for quality or long-term thinking. Lots of mobile engineers work too much -- nights and weekends, even. This makes little sense since you can't quickly push a production fix to the App Store or Play Store; there's a whole review process that slows things down. So working production support over a weekend as a mobile engineer makes zero sense.
