Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

February 14, 2022
Negative ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I applied through an employee referral.

They contacted me two months after the referral. The interviews were easy. The first interview was a DS/Algo round, and the second was a low-level design round. Next was the hiring manager round, where I got the feeling that they wanted to hear that I don’t have any personal life and that I could devote my life to Harness. As I read in the reviews that at Harness, work-life balance suffers a lot, it seems to be true. Anyway, they offered me lower than what I am currently getting, and I declined the offer without any hesitation.

Questions

The process included:

  • A standard DP question, which was House Robber on LeetCode.
  • A medium linked list question.
  • A low-level design question.
