Software Engineer Interview Experience - Penn, Pennsylvania

September 1, 2019
Positive ExperienceNo Response

Process

I went through three rounds of interviews:

  • Byteboard Coding Exercise (Part 1: 40 mins + Part 2: 70 mins)
  • Technical Phone Screen (60 mins)
  • Laptop Challenge (90 mins)

Rounds #2 and #3 also included time for behavioral/conversation-based questions.

Overall, the turnaround was quick. The recruiters were very responsive, and the interviewers seemed friendly. The interview questions assessed practical workplace skills and weren't too difficult. I didn't finish all the tasks for the Byteboard challenge, but I believe I passed because I commented my code and organized my solution well.

Questions

During the Byteboard challenge, they asked me to review a document discussing architecture design options for a new feature and list the pros and cons of each design choice. After that, I had to program parts of the feature.

The technical phone screen focused on Leetcode-style questions.

The laptop challenge focused on implementing a basic API.

I can't disclose further details because I signed an NDA.
