Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Stages of the process:

  • Recruiter screen
  • Technical phone screen
  • Virtual onsite (career history, system design, FE coding, BE coding over 2 days)

There was also an exec call, team matching calls, and 2-3 reference checks before the offer stage.

The recruiter really felt like a partner in the process, gave helpful info, and was responsive. The interviewers were collaborative, engaged, and friendly.

Questions

The technical interviews were practical in style, not LeetCode-style.

The system design interview focused more on data modeling and API design rather than scaling.

The career experience and executive interviews were primarily behavioral and motivational, rather than diving into technical details of projects.
