Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and heard back within two weeks, telling me that they would like to schedule a 45-minute phone interview with the hiring manager.

After that, I was invited onsite and had two onsite rounds and one written coding test. I can't share the questions because of the NDA, but I can say that overall they tried to touch every area that you might know.

It seemed like they were interested in what you know and how you think. They never say enough; as soon as you keep talking and solving the problem, they are trying to figure out how much you know.

I had:

  • Two proper coding questions on board
  • One data structure design question for a given problem
  • Two open-ended problem-solving and past experience-related questions
  • Behavioral questions

At the end of the second round, the recruiter came and said they wanted to move on and give an offer on the spot. I was caught off guard but was happy that the process was faster. The whole process (two rounds and offer, excluding the time between phone and onsite) took a week.

Questions

I can't because of NDA.
