SDE 1 Interview Experience

February 25, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process was an OA with two problems, and a VO consisting of BQ and coding. The coding problem is not on LeetCode, and it's not straightforward to figure out. The interviewer didn't give any hints, and only denied my methods once I proposed a new way. However, some interviewees can meet nice people.
