Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The process was fast. I received a coding assessment in late September. Once I completed the challenge, the recruiter contacted me within two days to schedule a Karat video interview. I was then invited for an onsite interview in SF. The onsite consisted of four interviews back to back, and the interviewers were nice and smart. I received an offer call two weeks after the onsite interview.
