Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I went through an HR screen, a technical screen through Karat, and a virtual onsite interview.

The HR screen involved talking over my background, why I wanted to leave my current job, and what I was looking for.

The Karat technical screen is a third-party interview where LeetCode-esque questions are asked. I suggest checking there for preparation.

The virtual onsite consisted of a code review, a whiteboard exercise, a "progex," and a resume deep dive.

"Progex" is Indeed's longer programming exercise, which simulates a more actual programming task. In this exercise, you have a programming environment, and the interviewers turn off their cameras and mics.

Overall, the experience was good, and all of the questions were reasonable. My only complaint is that I thought I did well on all parts of the interviews but was rejected via a vague and generalized automated email. My recruiter did not follow up, and I was provided zero feedback.

After putting in as much time as I did, the least I'd expect is some kind of response from my recruiter. This is not a good impression coming from a company that "helps people get jobs."
