Software Engineer Interview Experience

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

  • HR technical recruiter
  • Technical coding: A HashMap and state management related question.
  • System Design: Time passed too quickly if you're new to it.
  • Behavioural: A recent project you're proud of, what your role was, what the impact was, and how you measured it. Tell me about a failure. Did you convince your colleague about your solution and how? What is inclusion for you?

Questions
