Software Engineer Interview Experience

August 28, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter.

  • One online interview going over resume and experience
  • One technical interview: a take-home assignment plus a code review
  • An on-site interview with four assessments over five hours

The four assessments were a no-AI coding assessment, system design, and algorithms. The final project allowed the use of AI.

Questions

The take-home assignment was a mock project of their system, doing a calendar system.
