Senior Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
Met with TTD at HackerX, then followed up with a 1:1 interview in person at their Sydney office.
This interview was more general aptitude/team fit.
This was followed by a take-home coding exercise that I was to complete (no time limit given) and submit.
My submission was reviewed and some rework suggestions were implemented.
After this, I had 5 rounds of intensive technical interviews, each between 1-2 hours in duration. These were conducted over online meetings since most of the tech leadership is in the US.
