Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

September 1, 2019
Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Typical for a Software Engineer (SWE), the interview process involved a recruiter phone screen, followed by a coding test over the phone. Next, a full day on-site in San Francisco (SF) was scheduled. Once I was approved, I participated in team matching with some awesome teams. Simultaneously, my compensation was being reviewed so that I would have a team and an offer at the same time.

Questions

Very typical for a SWE interview. A mix of algorithmic, practical, and personal questions.
