Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied in the first week of January 2016 and received an initial screening call from the recruiter after only 3-4 days. Following that, she set up the first technical phone interview with two interviewers. This interview included an introduction, resume discussion, and two technical coding questions focused on algorithms and data structures.

After four days, I heard back from them, and they wanted to schedule a second interview round. This round was similar to the previous one, with two interviewers and the same type of coding questions.

However, I had to wait a long time for the offer after the final interview, as they took a considerable amount of time to respond. I received the offer one month after the second/final interview.
