Software Engineer SDE1 Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

June 27, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took four weeks.

  • OA for another role (different job code but same title): Passed 100% for both questions.
  • Interview round 1: 45 minutes.
  • Interview round 2 (loop interview): Three rounds of 45 minutes per round on separate days.

I was pending (ghosted) for several months and ended up with a decline without any response mail or message from the recruiter.

Questions

The process was an OA with two medium LeetCode questions.

  • Round 1: A medium LeetCode question with traditional BS and behavioral questions.
  • Round 2 - Loop:
    • 2.1: A DP question and behavioral questions.
    • 2.2: Add two numbers where the large output cannot use the int type, and behavioral questions.
    • 2.3: Roman to integer and behavioral questions.
