Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through LinkedIn and received a call from HR within a couple of days. I was then called for the first round of onsite interviews. Although it didn't go great, I qualified for the second round, which consisted of four interviews:
- Two rounds of pure coding
- One round of system design
- One round of behavioral with a small coding interview
I didn't do very well in one or more of these and did not receive an offer.
