Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bellevue, Washington
Process
2 coding rounds + 1 behavioral round + 1 extra behavioral round from another team.
Coding questions were regular LeetCode style. The behavioral rounds were kind of random chatting, which I suspect was why I failed. For the last extra behavioral round, they said I seemed to be a better fit for another team, thus one more round. I failed anyway.
Questions
Explain your past project.
Explain some details about Spark, its mechanism, problem solving/debugging, etc.
