Software Engineer (PhD Graduate) Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

It was a good experience; I did not make it past the first round, but it was ok. The first interview was more about me, and no preparation was needed. The second interview was coding, and I think my algorithm was too inefficient.
