Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
The interview consisted of three calls.
The first was a coding session with an engineer.
The next two calls were both non-technical, with two different managers from two different teams.
The worst part of the interview experience was the zero feedback or updates from the recruiters, even after emailing. In the end, it turned out to be three hours of wasted time.
A colleague of mine had a similar experience around the same timeframe.
Just a note to experienced candidates planning to interview: Don't waste your time unless you don't have any other interview calls. There are much better options out there to pursue, especially with remote work now.

I think it makes sense to build out a really strong architecture for certain things, but not so much for others. I feel like we lean towards over-engineering most of the time. There aren't any RSUs like you'd get at public companies, so that part of your pay may be less than elsewhere.
