Software Engineer, Early Career Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
The interview process starts with an initial technical screen before application submission. Once your application is submitted and they move forward, you will undergo an initial recruiter screening. Then you will be asked to complete a CS fundamentals technical assessment with an interviewer, which lasts about 60 minutes. This is followed by a back-end engineering round, which is also 60 minutes, and then walking through two projects that you have completed, with time for the interviewers to ask questions, which is also about 60 minutes.
