Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter.

I had 4 stages: talent acquisition, home assignment, technical interview, and cultural fit / behavioral interview. The overall impression was very positive. I got on very well with the recruiter, and communication was in a timely manner. During each interview, I had a good idea of what was expected from me. Especially with the home task, there was literally zero ambiguity about what it was about. I prefer home tasks since they are much closer to the actual working environment. The technical interview consisted of a home assignment debrief, which again felt as if it was a real team code review.
