Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Process
Overall 4 round. Applied online through LinkedIn and took around 3 weeks for complete process.
Round 1 - Coding challenge Round 2 - Telephonic interview for 1hr Round 3 - Video interview on Zoom Round 4 - Video interview on Zoom
Beware of the interviewers, especially on the video calls. They are very picky and closed to only solutions they think are the valid solution.
I asked about projects, sounds like a lot of manual work (creating VM manually etc) and manager sounds very rude.
