Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had a phone call with a recruiter to discuss the interview process and potential teams.

Next, I had a technical phone screen. I got to use my own IDE/terminal over a shared screen, which really helped.

The onsite interview was standard, with four tech interviews and an interview with a manager.

Overall, I was extremely impressed with the process and the team compared to other companies.

Questions

The questions are not difficult in the sense that you have to know crazy esoteric algorithms or "Big O" (they said they didn't really care about the performance characteristics of the solution).

However, the questions do require writing a decent amount of code. I think there's a real emphasis on code quality, communication, and general culture fit/behavior.
