Software Engineer II Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Interview Process:
- Recruiter Screen
- Tech Screen
- Virtual Onsite (System Design, Technical Deep Dive, and Coding Interview)
The prompt for the System Design interview was to design a high-level messaging system. The Technical Deep Dive involved in-depth technical questions about a project you have worked on. Ensure you know your projects inside and out.
After the full interview loop, the recruiter scheduled a call solely to inform me that I was not moving forward. Additionally, she could not provide any meaningful feedback. I would have much preferred an email if she was unable to offer feedback.
