Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A recruiter reached out to have a quick conversation about potential interest, and an initial phone screen was set up about 10 days from then. This involved 2 coding questions in 40 minutes.

Once the screening was cleared, the recruiter set up a final round of interviews, consisting of 4 interviews divided across 2 days. All interviewers were nice.

The coding questions were not too difficult, but there's always pressure to finish coding a problem in about 20 minutes to do well. All coding and behavioral rounds went very well, but I certainly did not do well on the Design interview.

Questions

Largest common substring, dynamic programming (sentence using dictionary), custom data structure with constant time insert, lookup, and recall.
