Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I had a 1 hour and 15 minute phone interview, which consisted of 1 hour for coding, 10 minutes for general theoretical programming questions, and 5 minutes for any questions I might have.
After passing the phone interview, I was invited for an onsite, which consisted of 4 rounds, each 1 hour long:
- System Design
- Case Study
- Behavioral
- Coding
Questions
Signed NDA.
But it was a LeetCode medium and very general system design question.
