Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

October 27, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 months.

Do not interview here - waste of time. Went through full loop and did not get feedback (ghosted) after onsite...

The full loop (including tech phone screens and onsite) will take around 7 hours total of your time. This does not include any time that you spend prepping / stressing / etc. for the interviews.

Tech screen:

  • 2 tech screens (1 algo and 1 debugging; 1 hour each)

Virtual onsite:

  • 3 coding (2 algo and 1 frontend; 1 hour each)
  • 1 system design (1 hour)
  • 1 manager interview (45 mins)
  • 1 wrap up (15 mins)

Questions

Standard Leetcode-type questions; each algo session has multiple parts.
