Staff Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Very typical process for a Bay Area tech company.

Starts with a Recruiter Screen, then you can schedule a virtual coding and a virtual system design interview.

If you clear that, then there is an onsite coding and an onsite system design round accompanied by a tech Fit round.

Questions are all very reasonable and very closely related to what techniques you may actually use at work. No contrived puzzle programming questions here!

Then you get the feedback pretty fast.

Recruiters and schedulers are very efficient and cognizant of your timelines. Very communicative without being overbearing.

Special shout out to Kayla Dobbins who is possibly the best recruiter I have worked with in a long long time!

Questions

Standard programming questions that require basic principles.

System design is also fairly standard systems that you would face in a typical b2b SAAS company.
