Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Recruiter call - Tech screen - On site (remote) 4 rounds standard process. Interviewer for the technical rounds was pretty bad. Interview questions were pretty easy and straight forward. The recruiter ghosted afterward and I have no intention to follow up for feedback anyway as their pay is way below average. And stock options are tiny for senior engineers, expect less than 40k a year even if Proofpoint successfully IPO at 5x valuation.
Questions
The process included a simple coding exercise and interacting with APIs.
