Software Engineer Interview Experience - Detroit, Michigan
Process
Overall, a good experience. The recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn and gathered information about my current work experience. A couple of days later, I was scheduled for a phone screen with the team leaders. After clearing the phone screen, I was scheduled for a virtual onsite interview, which lasted for about 2 1/2 hours.
- First 90 minutes: HackerRank coding assessment - 4 questions.
- Next 1 hour: Face-to-face discussion on my current experience.
The interview panel was very friendly, and the overall experience was positive. The recruiter reached out to me a couple of days later to extend the offer.
