Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process

I applied at a university career fair, and the recruiter got back to me shortly after that. I had a 30-minute call with the manager of the team, who just asked me about my background and what I am looking for. The second round was a technical phone screen. The question was pretty simple: output all the words in the document from most frequently used to least. Then I flew to their New York office for the onsite. The onsite was six interviews: three behavioral/talking about my technical experience, and three technical/algo/LeetCode-type questions. The interview went well, and everyone was nice, but the experience I had with the recruiter was not great. She forgot to confirm my first interview and told me the night before at 10 p.m. that it was going to be tomorrow morning. Then they never got back to me, even though I flew there for an onsite. I reached out after waiting and frantically checking my email for three weeks, and she responded within the hour, saying they decided not to move forward with me. She also took a month to get back to me on my reimbursement, which was $300. Overall, the interview went well, but a bad experience with the recruiter.
