Entry-Level Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

The process was very straightforward. After applying online, I received a HireVue with some questions (STAR).

I then received a CodeVue the next day, with the problem being a simple string manipulation question (LeetCode easy).

After this point, I didn't hear anything back for about a week. A recruiter reached out to me by text (they attempted to call me, but my phone was on silent) to let me know that I was moving forward in the process and my resume was being reviewed by a hiring manager.

Then a week later, I received a link by email to schedule for the final round, 2-hour Skype interview. I was placed to have the interview at the end of that week.

The interviewers were very formal, and the interview felt very conversational. They made me feel very comfortable. We didn't even get to 45 minutes when they said they asked everything they wanted, and the interview ended there (I thought for sure this was a bad sign).

Then exactly a week later, I received a phone call from one of the interviewers telling me that they were extending me an offer and congratulating me.

Very smooth process. I loved that GM was going to the lengths of making calls to interviewers; it made me feel like I was really being cared for.

Questions

HireVue: Behavioral STAR format questions.

CodeVue: LeetCode easy string manipulation.

Final Skype Interview: More STAR format questions but more involved and intentional.
