Software Engineer III Interview Experience - Atlanta, Georgia
Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
The overall process took about 2–3 weeks. The recruiter was quick to respond, kind, and very helpful throughout. There were five stages:
- A recruiter screen.
- A hiring manager interview.
- A technical interview.
- A panel interview.
- A final round with two VP interviews.
Everyone I met was friendly and professional. The technical interview wasn't a typical LeetCode-style test. It focused on realistic, job-related problem-solving, which I really appreciated.
Questions

Flock Safety Work Experiences
- 2.0Fast growing revenue, degrading technical managementSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDecember 3, 2024Pros: Growing stock value. Some good engineers (though some being pushed out due to conflict). Energetic CEO. Mission is okay but reducing in motivating value for staff as the business attempts to expand into tangential areas. Occasional paths to tech innovation.Cons: Recent hiring has been poor. Reluctant to and/or incapable of removing poor performers. Bad project bets are cut off too late into the game. Little understanding of the long tail nature of engineer productivity/value and how that should affect hiring, compensation, and project allocation. Too many "yes men" and intolerance of conflicting opinions. Currently no road to IPO; stock liquidity options only for early employees. Lack of transparency, especially on HR/compensation issues.
- 4.0Solid CompanyPlatform Engineer • Former EmployeeMay 6, 2025Pros: Great benefits, professional teams, fast growthCons: Most devs won't have ownership of projects, and unquestioned conformity to existing frameworks is encouraged.
- 1.0Terrible working environmentEngineer • Former EmployeeJune 21, 2022Pros: There are no real pros working at this place besides the coworkers.Cons: Pay is below industry, terrible manager with no real growth opportunities. No diversity.
