Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The take-home exercise was fun, creating a mini-game following their instructions.
The rest of the interview process felt fairly standard.
After the initial recruiter intake, there was:
- A phone screen (1 hour)
- An on-site loop (4 interviews)
After that, they extended an offer.
Questions
One exercise I particularly enjoyed was identifying a bug in code and providing feedback as if it was a code review. It felt like a more accurate way to measure the day-to-day work than some other, more artificial interview questions.
Was this helpful?
