Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Hard and short. I was asked a lot of algorithm questions from textbook examples, which I have not found very practical. I had three rounds: one HR and two technical ones. I also had some whiteboarding through the screen, which I found very hard because everyone was looking at me, and I had to deliver solutions real-time online. It was quite a nice surprise, though, that my interviewers were very competent.
