Senior Software Development Engineer Interview Experience
Process
I interviewed with The New York Times for a remote position. The interview spanned four and a half hours.
I talked to four different sets of people.
The technical interview involved a coding test and system design. The non-technical test involved assessments on learning, collaborating with co-workers, conflict resolution, teaching, mentoring, etc.
Questions
How did you overcome a technical challenge? How did you resolve a conflict with a co-worker?
