Software Engineer - New Grad Interview Experience - United States

Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
I was first contacted by a recruiter from my university.
This was followed up by a Codesignal OA consisting of four questions of varying difficulty.
I passed this and heard back the next day about the final round.
The final round consisted of:
- Two coding rounds with two coding questions each.
- One behavioral round consisting of questions regarding my future aspirations.
I thought these questions were doable.
This was followed by team matching and eventually an offer.
Questions
LC style questions in both coding rounds.

Pros: - Benefits and perks are plentiful.
- You can pick any team or project you want to work on.
- People on my team are super nice and smart; I don't know about other teams.
- Your accomplishments on any task will impact millions of users.
- Tasks are challenging and interesting enough to engage you in your work.
- You can contribute input to the projects your team is working on.
Cons: These are not really cons, but rather responsibilities:
* You are responsible for what you do. If it causes errors, you have to fix them.
* The codebase is huge without much documentation. The code is literal in itself, so you must ramp up by reading the code instead of documentation.
* Sometimes overtime is necessary. You can still manage to maintain work/life balance if you are experienced enough. Most people won't have a problem with this.
