Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cornwall on Hudson, New York
Process
- 45-minute bug bash (find bug in a repo)
- Standard behavioral interview with hiring manager
- Send/receive a network request and verify based on input and output
- 45-minute standard technical interview question
- Implement this UI in React or whatever you choose
In general, I thought the process was good. The interviewers were all different and appeared to be quite busy. I don't see that as a major problem and I can understand that interviewing is a lot of work. I didn't finish any of the technical rounds.
I spent a lot of time debugging my code because I wasn't very comfortable in the environments, despite working in them.
I thought it was one of the better processes, and I got a lot of experience on what not to do, lol. I'm not sure if their "looking at the process" approach is true. They appear to really only care if you can solve the problem, so maybe avoid chit-chat and just code and get it done, then explain what more you'd do if you had more time.

- 5.0Learned New Tech HereSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeChennai, Tamil Nadu, IndiaDecember 8, 2023Pros: Such a nice environment to learn new technology.Cons: Nothing to say about cons.
- 4.0Passionate co-workers who embody company valuesSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 9, 2016Pros: The company is very welcoming and willing to accommodate you working odd hours if you need to. Unlike at larger companies, they don't just pay lip service to what they believe in. Instead, it feels like every person you work with at the company is personally invested in the values. You're given lots of autonomy. Important decisions, like company-wide goals, are decided by representatives from the entire company, then filter down to smaller tasks to achieve each quarter as decided by teams.Cons: We're still struggling to grow from a baby company into a full-grown one, with everything that entails. HR processes and management structures are still developing in some areas, and we're still learning how to balance feature work with reliability. This means instability, which can sometimes mean intrusions on personal time for incident response.
