Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

September 1, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter reached out, and I put off responding for a month.

I eventually did a coding screen and went for an onsite interview.

I was really bummed that I didn't get the offer.

I had lunch with the team, and they took me out to a nice restaurant because there was some event going on that week in the office.

Questions

They have a bunch of new questions now, so nothing you see on here is that helpful. I was asked a tree problem to rebalance a red-black tree, and they actually expect running code.

System design was something completely unrelated, like designing a car dealership management system.

The people I met were great, but I did terrible. They are also heavy on what you do outside of work and seem to prefer people who excel at a hobby. Some employees are professional dancers, compete in some sports, or have high video game rankings. Make sure you sound interesting and have a life outside of work.
