Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I received a contact from a recruiter via email. After a phone screening, I scheduled a phone interview.
Meanwhile, I contacted a friend who provided an internal referral.
Thanks to their referral, my phone interview was canceled, and I proceeded to an onsite, full-day interview.
The first interviewer asked system design questions. The other five interviewers asked coding questions, most of which were fairly simple, I must admit.
One interviewer asked a difficult question that I had a hard time with.
Questions
