Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Process

There was first a very simple technical phone screen with one brief technical question about sorting.

I was flown to an in-person interview in Seattle, where I interviewed with three engineers. Everyone was very nice, and the process was smooth.

The interview wasn't very difficult; it was a very standard SWE interview (no offer since I was underprepared, lol).

Expect a mix of riddle-like questions, data structures, and algorithms.
