Senior Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California

May 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through an employee referral, and a recruiter reached out to me in a few days. The first round was with HR to go over the role. The second was a phone screen with an easy string coding problem. Next was an on-site panel interview with four more rounds: three technical and one behavioral. All three technical rounds were not LeetCode-style and focused on JSON processing, test framework design, and tests for pseudocode, etc.
