Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

The interview is an hour long and includes four coding questions.

If you are interviewing for a front-end position, expect questions covering JavaScript, CSS, and easy to medium LeetCode problems.

A side note: the recruiter did not inform me of this breakdown. I was told the interview would consist of an easy to medium LeetCode question, not an interview with four separate coding questions covering algorithms and web development. Consequently, I was very surprised when the interviewer began with a JavaScript-related question, which I was able to answer.

The next question was an easy to medium LeetCode problem, followed by another question about CSS.

My main issue is not being informed that the interview would consist of four coding questions. This is a major disservice to candidates and can significantly throw them off.

Be honest about the actual interview process. If you are a recruiter, ensure you understand the process 100% so that candidates are not given a completely different interview from what they were told.
