Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process consisted of:

  • An initial meeting with a recruiter.
  • A take-home challenge.
  • Two hour-long systems design challenges.
  • An hour-long coding challenge.

The interviewers varied in quality, as there was a different person for each stage. One interviewer, who asked about the Netflix challenge, was particularly confusing and kept changing the instructions. However, the rest of the interviews were enjoyable.

This was also my first interview, so I was really nervous. I believe the company should validate their interviewers a bit more.

The feedback received on two other interviews was good. Looking back, I realize I missed something quite obvious in the last systems design challenge.

Questions

Design Netflix. Design a weather service. A general sort algorithm challenge.
