Software Development Engineer (SDE) II Interview Experience - United States

October 1, 2024
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process included standard coding interviews and a typical hiring manager round. The system design portion was quite casual and incorporated discussions about previous projects. One of the coding sessions with an engineer was challenging, but I managed to provide a brute-force solution first, and then an optimal solution. However, I didn't need to code the optimal solution.
