Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter.

I really enjoyed talking to everyone, and most engineers were friendly and informal. I appreciate that no algorithms questions were asked; instead, a take-home task was required. They do dig deep when asking technical questions, though, so make sure you know what you talk about. I was somewhat disappointed by the overall experience, though. I was supposed to have a tech interview with two engineers, but nobody showed up (I waited 30 minutes before dropping off), which had never happened to me before. I was given no explanation why, but at least we could reschedule to a few days later. At the task review stage, I had to wait a week and chase to get a decision. I thought I was being ghosted, so I would've appreciated at least some communication. I did eventually receive short feedback, which I appreciated! All in all, I don't regret applying, but the experience wasn't as smooth as in other companies I'm interviewing at.
