Associate Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
The final interview was virtual and included three algorithm questions. The first two were easy string/array manipulation problems.
The third question was more challenging and was purposefully designed to not be finished within the 45-minute time slot allotted for each interviewer. Each 45-minute slot was with a different person.
Two of the three interviewers were easy to understand via Microsoft Teams call. The third interviewer, however, had a very muffled microphone, a poor internet connection, and a strong accent, which made communication extremely difficult.
