Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Applied online.
Two weeks later, I got an offer to interview.
I spoke with a senior engineer about fit, who directed me to a team.
I did the phone screen.
Questions
The phone screen was much less algorithm-heavy than I was expecting. Paradoxically, this made it difficult because it was different than anticipated.
It wasn't necessarily a hard interview objectively. It didn't take a lot of knowledge, nor did it really require algorithms. It simply demanded precise and careful coding, along with a bit of design.
