Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process began with an initial recruiter call, followed by a phone screen that included a coding challenge. The next stage was a three-round virtual onsite:

  • One coding round
  • One system design round
  • One behavioral round

The coding questions were not LeetCode-style and were quite straightforward. However, they required writing a fair amount of code within a 45-minute timeframe. The interviewers were polite and engaged throughout the process, and interview outcomes were communicated in under 24 hours.

There was a hiccup when the role I originally applied for was filled. Fortunately, my recruiter was able to transfer me to a different role without losing any progress in my interviews.

On balance, it was a very positive experience.
