Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

I received an employee referral and soon after, I got an email inviting me to participate in a HackerRank online assessment. I didn't finish every problem there.
A few days later, I was scheduled for a behavioral interview. I think I did poorly there as well, but this was my first interviewing experience.
