Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was referred by a current employee, which meant I received an immediate on-site interview. Therefore, I cannot speak to the phone screen process.

The interview itself was an informal lunch, focusing more on cultural fit than technical questions. They did, however, conduct some high-level probing to ensure I could actually program; if you lack real development experience, you might struggle.

After the interview, there was a delay in receiving an offer, though I understand this has improved as they streamline the recruitment process.

Following the offer, I had to undergo a background check with HireRight, which I felt was a waste of everyone's time.

Questions

There were some questions about specific Java features that I couldn't answer.
