Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Portland, Oregon

August 1, 2019
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter from LinkedIn through this same network. She offered to apply to a position to work in Sunnyvale, California.

I had a 30-minute phone screening, just to get acquainted. After confirming my interest in moving forward, I was scheduled one week later for a technical remote test.

This second interview was conducted remotely using a Zoom link. I was contacted by a Senior Software Engineer from the team they were looking to recruit. We had a brief introduction and then continued with the test, which involved solving an interview question on an embedded web IDE within one hour and a half.

Unfortunately, I didn't pass due to a lack of training in algorithms and data structures. In fact, it was easier than I expected. The next step would have been an on-site interview for whiteboarding and system design problems, but I didn't continue with the process.

The recruiter was always in touch and provided useful feedback, encouraging me to try again after one year and prepare. This was definitely a positive experience, although I didn't receive an offer.
