Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California

December 1, 2023
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process involved a recruiter call, followed by a phone screen with a coding exercise. The on-site portion consisted of two coding rounds, each featuring two coding questions, a product design segment, and a behavioral interview.

Overall, the process was not overly difficult, with most coding questions aligning with LeetCode Medium difficulty. The product design question was also manageable, presenting a common problem. I felt I performed well on the coding rounds; however, the offer was likely not extended due to my performance in the behavioral or design sections.

The recruiter, unfortunately, was not very helpful. They were slow to respond, sometimes ignored emails, and provided no feedback.
