Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

June 1, 2017
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn and set up a time to chat with me over the phone.

After the phone screen with the recruiter, I had another phone screen scheduled with an engineer. The engineer asked me some C++ and multithreading questions, and then a coding question related to queues.

I was then invited to the onsite interview. The onsite consisted of:

  • One coding question (90 minutes), which you needed to implement on a laptop (either your own or a loaner).
  • Two whiteboard architecture questions.
  • Finally, a video conference with one of their managers in SF.
