Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Overall, it took about three weeks to hear back after my initial phone screen, which felt longer than expected for a role like this.
The technical round involved a DSA question on grouping anagrams, where I discussed my hashmap approach and its time complexity, a few days earlier.
While I felt prepared, I stumbled on a follow-up question about Unicode handling, which impacted my confidence. Eventually, I got the no-offer news, but it was a good learning experience.
