Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
The process started with an online round, followed by two onsite rounds, and then one more online round. The last two rounds included interviews with the hiring managers.
There was a great variety of problems. Most were about algorithms, ranging from very easy to very hard. One question was about system design, and one was a real implementation. The latter required me to bring my own laptop with a web development environment set up.
