Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
You only get standard LeetCode-type questions for a round or two. The remaining 2-3 rounds are system design and debugging. The latter can be very overwhelming since the interviewer will remain silent for the most part. There will likely be logical errors in the 2nd or even 3rd bug that require you to really dig deep into the code while against the clock. For that reason, a typed language might be easier for this portion, but you still need to have deep expertise in it.
Questions
Clone an old version of an open-source repository and solve the bugs in it. When all the test cases pass, you'll know you've succeeded.
The first bug is easiest, the second is harder, and the last bug will take a while.
