Application Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hawthorne, California
October 27, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.
4 rounds of interview:
- 3 focusing on logical thinking, communication, and ability to ask questions.
- Last round is behavioral.
The questions will be around anything. Don't focus on leetcode hards or mediums; instead, focus on their strategies and on how to take a random problem and triage the requirements and clear out assumptions.
