Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Process

The interview process included:

  • 1 HackerRank problem
  • 1-hour technical problem
  • 3 x 3-hour technical problems
  • 30-minute manager interview

The interview process does not examine conceptual knowledge. Each technical interview is 55 minutes of being given a problem statement and implementing a solution in a language of your choice. There are about 5 minutes for candidate questions at the end of each interview.

Recruiters regularly took more than 24 hours to respond to communication; however, the recruiter provided updates by their self-imposed deadlines. All of my interviews had to be rescheduled after the recruiter set the initial schedule.

This was the only interview loop I have done with no conceptual knowledge checks and only implementation checks, which was very unusual.
