Software Engineering Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts

September 1, 2020
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied in mid-September and received a response about 1-2 weeks later.

  1. You are first given an online assessment. The online assessment consisted of sending a GET request to one endpoint to receive a bunch of data. Then, you process the data and sort through it (as specified in the problem) and POST it back to another endpoint. You are given 3 hours to complete the online assessment, where it is graded based on completion, time, and code readability.

  2. Two days after taking the online assessment, I was invited for a 20-minute HR screening that asked fairly typical interview questions (see below). I was rejected here for whatever reason. I felt that my answers were good, but it seems that this year was extra competitive (most likely due to the 2020 COVID situation).

  3. After the HR screening, I believe you have two one-hour, back-to-back technical interviews. According to the recruiter, these rounds were to be held in late October. I did not make it to these rounds.

Questions

  1. Describe a time you gave criticism to somebody.

  2. Describe a time you had to explain something technical to a person.

  3. What's the best part about working in a team, and what's the worst part about working in a team?
