Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

July 1, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was asked to solve a 4-step coding question in CoderPad at a screening phase.

Once you make it from the first step, you get to the next one.

Solving all 4 in a given amount of time seems unrealistic, but maybe they assess how far you are able to get.

Questions

Implement a virtual cloud filesystem. Under the hood, it involves the usage of several algorithms and data structures.

It is not difficult, but there is a time limitation that doesn't give you a chance to think about the problem and how to implement it better.
