Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
Completed a very easy HackerRank, followed by a Karat interview that was also pretty straightforward with simple algo/DS questions.
Virtual onsite consists of three interviews:
- A standard algorithms interview.
- A decomp interview, which is similar to a system design problem.
- A learning interview, where you learn a new technology/language and are asked to implement it.
After the onsite, I was asked to return for another interview with an engineering manager. It was completely behavioral and mostly standard questions.
