Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

OA, Technical Interview, then a 5-hour final round.

Duolingo decided to cancel my final round interview LESS THAN 24 HOURS before it was scheduled. This was immediately after the winter break, so I wasted WEEKS of my life studying for this, only to be met with disgustingly unprofessional behavior.

Glad they showed their true colors early before I joined that pathetic excuse of a company. The whole recruiting department is a dumpster fire. The product is worthless, as it has been shown that no one actually is able to pick up a language through it.

Questions

General coding questions, LeetCode style.
