Software Engineer Interview Experience - Plantation, Florida
Process
The process began with a 30-minute recruiter screening that focused on my background and interest in the role.
I was then scheduled for a technical coding round over Zoom, where I was asked to solve a couple of algorithmic problems in real-time using a shared code editor.
After passing that round, I had a full-day virtual onsite interview, which included:
- A system design interview
- A behavioral interview with the hiring manager
- A technical deep dive with a senior engineer
Overall, it was well-structured and gave me a good sense of the team's expectations and culture.
