SWE Interview Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I participated in a CodeSignal assessment where I performed poorly, but I did quite well in the first technical interview, which allowed me to advance to the second round.
The second technical interview did not go as planned. I spent most of the allotted time on the first question and completely failed the follow-up question.
Questions
Got two questions in each interview, with a first question and a follow-up. Expect at least one LeetCode Medium. My second interview follow-up question was a LeetCode Hard (Alien Dictionary).
