Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

You get a take-home, where you're asked to build a feature parallel to one Notion has, and then if you pass, you go through to the debugging and phone screen rounds. The debugging round tests your ability to find and diagnose bugs in a codebase, whereas the phone screen is similar to a LeetCode round where they ask you to build a feature using OOP.
