Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 1, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I went through two rounds of screening, followed by a full round of interviews, which included two more rounds of coding, system design, and behavioral.

The behavioral interview was conducted by an interviewer who was not fluent in English and hardly paying attention. The horrible communication between the recruiter and me made it feel like I was being set up to fail.

Overall, it felt like a huge waste of time.

Questions

I had to go through 4 rounds of coding, with 8 questions total. I don't remember all of them, but I recall:

  • Least common node in a binary tree
  • Sliding window question
  • No dynamic programming questions

I was asked the LRU cache question twice; they really like that question.

Was this helpful?
