Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

February 1, 2024
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first interview involved SSHing to a VM and sharing a terminal via tmux. I was shown Python code snippets and asked to describe how they worked and identify any potential bugs.

The second interview consisted of traditional CoderPad puzzles. Nothing was particularly Python-specific. The interviewer seemed to expect the solution in a particular form, but I used some itertools built-ins, which then led to a slight disconnect.

Strangely, the first interview had more technical complexity. It also included one interviewer and two additional observers, whereas the second had just one interviewer.

The recruiter never replied to emails, leaving me with no communication for two weeks.
