Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

  1. Spoke with recruiter.

  2. Approximately 1-hour coding interview over Zoom with a shared document.

  3. 4-hour "on-site" interview over Zoom, divided into three sections:

    • A coding interview.
    • A systems design interview.
    • An interview with a manager, which was more like a conversation about work history.

The coding problems were not too difficult. The systems design interview was a bit messy. Part of this may be my lack of experience with systems design interviews, but I found it very difficult to figure out the direction the interviewer wanted me to go and what they wanted me to focus on. I felt they could have provided more input as we were going.

Overall, everyone was very nice, and I would say it was a good experience. The feedback after each round of interviews was very fast.
