Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

November 13, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had the usual phone call and then a coding test after that, but I did not get beyond that stage. Nothing was out of the ordinary; everything was very standard, and there were no surprises. The recruiter was very good compared to other companies as of late.

Questions

Walking through my resume, experiences, and how my previous work would be relevant to the role.

There was more infrastructure-based work than I had expected, based off the job posting, which I guess is quite common but not what I wanted.
