Software Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California

Process

One phone interview.

Three questions, LeetCode Medium level.

Then, an onsite interview two weeks later.

Four rounds of whiteboard interviews. The interviewers were pretty chill.

One LeetCode Easy question and other questions were LeetCode Hard level. I screwed up the Easy question (brain freeze, I guess). I managed the Hard questions with the best possible complexity but missed a few edge cases and some silly mistakes that could have been avoided. I guess they look for a complete, working solution with the best time complexity.

I got a generic reject email within two weeks.

Overall, a positive experience!
