Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Reston, Virginia
Process
Had a fantastic interview process!
I was interviewing for two different teams, so they did a “joint loop” where they mixed. I had one phone screening with each team, and both ended up asking me a coding question, but they were pretty easy.
Then, I scheduled 5 technical interviews: 3 with one team and 2 with the other.
Overall, the questions were very straightforward, and nothing was too challenging. They were very LeetCode Easy and Medium.
I got the offer very quickly afterwards!
