Software Engineer II Interview Experience

Process

I had a technical screen with one member of the interview team.

He asked one question, and we spent some time going over logical reasoning regarding solutions, followed by coding.

Then, I completed a virtual onsite with five interviews, including an "as appropriate" interview with a senior team member.

Most questions were easy to medium. The interviewers ranged from friendly to mildly intense.

Afterward, I was informed that my feedback was great, but the position had been filled.

I declined to explore other opportunities, as this was the only position I was interested in.

Questions

Logically fairly simple, but some questions involved more uncommon data structures. Not easy, but simple if you're well-prepared.
