Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks.
The recruiter was really efficient and responsive. From their interview prep doc, it looks like they have 3 rounds in total. The first 2 rounds are coding and system design, and the 3rd round is with the HM. I passed the first round but failed the second round.
The second round was pretty intensive. I had been asked about project-related questions, coding, and system design.
