Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks.

Pretty typical SE loop:

  • 1 hour code screen.
  • 3 session final loop: coding, system design, and behavioral. Recruiter call after the code screen was very helpful walking through the final loop and the rest of the process.
  • References checks and offer letter.

All-in-all took about a month from initial conversation to offer.

Questions
