Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The first round was a recruiter call. The recruiter was really nice and explained the next steps.

The next round was a one-hour technical screen. The question focused on a real-world use case they encounter at Figma.

I had never seen a problem like this before, and I felt it wasn't explained very well. I had a lot of questions before getting started, and even more as I began working through it.

I thought this was to be expected, as the question was vague and unique to Figma. I actually enjoyed working on it regardless.

Apparently, I asked too many questions, because I received a rejection email the next day.

Questions

They make you sign an NDA, but the problem is not LC at all. It focuses on a real-world Figma use case and involves creating object classes.

My advice is to just practice your programming language of choice and make sure you know it very well to solve a real-world problem (and not just an LC one).
