Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

November 1, 2021
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I made it to the on-site interview but didn't receive an offer. I feel like large companies that are fully remote can afford to be very selective, as they now have a nationwide pool of candidates to choose from.

The on-site interview consisted of:

  • Two coding questions
  • One system design question
  • One behavioral question
  • One hiring manager interview

For the coding questions, they've moved away from brain teasers in favor of more realistic problems. As a back-end developer, one question was highly specific to back-end development. This required me to look up how to solve it on the web mid-interview. This was my downfall, as I didn't complete the problem quickly enough.
