Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
I was interviewed by Grubhub after being contacted by a recruiter. The whole process took 4 weeks.
An initial phone screening consisted of a regular LeetCode medium question.
The onsite consisted of 4 rounds: a LeetCode question, Java/OOP design, architecture design, and HR questions.
Everyone was very friendly and insightful. The director and engineers were all excited about their work, and they are doing interesting and fun work. I would definitely recommend going through their hiring process and working there. Personally, I have received better offers; otherwise, I would for sure pick Grubhub.
