Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

October 1, 2016
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had an on-campus interview with an engineer from the SF office.

It was a typical interview: 10 minutes discussing my background and interests, with the rest of the time dedicated to a coding problem.

Following that, I was flown out to the Seattle office for an on-site, which consisted of four rounds of interviews.

I felt the problems asked were relatively easy. It's a bit frustrating that the company won't disclose the reasons for not receiving an offer.

Questions

The initial interview featured a BFS-based graph problem.

Onsite interviews comprised:

  • A matrix traversal question
  • A duplicates question
  • A systems design question
  • A project decomposition question
