Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through an employee referral. The process took two months.
A recruiter call was followed up with a one-hour coding interview. I did well enough on the first coding interview, and they moved me up for a virtual onsite. The virtual onsite had two coding sections and one system design. The coding sections were similar to the LeetCode-style questions that are available online. You can watch the NeetCode YouTube channel to find out more.
