Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks.
First stage was an HR/recruiter screening call. The recruiter walked through the full interview pipeline upfront (screening → technical rounds → system design), which was helpful for planning. Despite being a recruiter screen rather than a pure HR chat, there were already some technical questions mixed in — mainly around databases, indexing, and idempotency. Tone throughout was friendly and professional, no pressure, felt more like a two-way conversation than an interrogation.
