Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

The interview process was straightforward and flexible to match my schedule.

The technical phone screen lasted an hour and included a mix of algorithm and design questions. The questions were easy, provided you had spent some time preparing for interviews in general.

The onsite interviews consisted of five sessions, a mix of algorithm, design, and cultural fit.

Overall, the questions were easy (LeetCode easy-medium) compared to other companies.

I didn't get the best vibe from meeting the team. The company seems to be growing very rapidly but lacks experienced senior members (everyone looked recently graduated or under 30). The team also admitted to having issues finding senior members to join the company.

Ultimately, I decided this was not a place for me to grow and turned down the offer.
