Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The entire interview process was set up smoothly. The first coding screening round went well. For the final round, which consisted of three parts, I was given the impression that everything went well.

The recruiter reached out with feedback the next day as to why I wasn't being moved on, which felt strange as it didn't reflect how the interactions went.

For future interviewees, I think it's important to keep in mind that you must be fully autonomous and lead through the entire problem, and must implement it exactly how they want it. In my case, the fact that I needed to be "prompted" to include a missing part in an abstract problem is what disqualified me. It seems like if you need any sort of help or collaboration, it is seen as a negative thing.
