Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

March 1, 2022
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The initial call with the recruiter was rather friendly. They provided a decent overview of the company and how it went public in December 2021.

The next round was a phone interview with the hiring manager, who presented an interesting coding challenge. I wasn't able to finish the problem in roughly 30 minutes, but I completed about 75% of it.

Regardless, they ended up passing me, so I assume they expect you to either solve the problem entirely or complete a higher percentage of it.
