Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process included:

  • One screening round
  • One hiring manager round
  • Three back-to-back onsite rounds.

The onsite portion was the most ridiculous, especially the two-hour assignment. Is it really fair to judge an engineer based on the amount of code produced in just two hours?

The interviewer in the coding round was pompous. He didn't know how to conduct an interview and seemed in a hurry to get over with the problem.

Questions

System design was related to the main engineering product they had built. This was a reasonable round, in my opinion.

The coding question was related to arrays or strings.

By the time the two-hour assignment arrived, I was mentally exhausted. It was related to task concurrency.

I had already made up my mind not to join them anyway. The office has horrible logistics and felt like a call center.
