Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Mateo, California
Process
The interview process took about six weeks from start to finish. Overall, it was a very positive experience.
Everyone I interviewed with was very friendly.
The hard skills portion consisted of:
- One Systems Design interview
- Two coding interviews
The soft skills interviews were more focused on behavioral and personality questions, including conflict resolution and some problem-solving that wasn't related to coding.
Questions
Tell us about a manager you worked under that you looked up to, and who changed the way you do or think about things (Not about their hard skills).

The breadth of engineering is refreshing and similar to big tech, but without as large of an engineering org in sheer numbers, so impact is readily available.Cons: Difficulty getting clarity and alignment with leadership on product roadmap and priorities.
