Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

The process began with an online coding assessment, which was straightforward and not too difficult.

Next, an informal phone call took place, during which I was asked about my preferred language for the interview (I chose Python).

Following that were two at-home coding interviews. I passed the first and was subsequently given a second.

For each interview, I was connected by phone to the interviewer. They asked a couple of general questions, followed by one to two detailed code implementation questions. I wrote my scratch code in Google Docs.

I did not advance to the final stage, which involved flying out to CA for a day of in-person interviews.
