Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

December 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

This was a new grad process. I received an online assessment which I had to complete within 48 hours. I received an email to schedule an interview 10 days after that.

Three rounds were supposed to be scheduled.

For the first round, I was asked two LeetCode medium questions, which I solved. I then received an email to schedule the second interview. In the second interview, I was asked one coding question and then a follow-up to that question, which I also solved.

The worst part was after the interview; the recruiter probably blocked me. I was trying to reach out to the recruiter for a follow-up, and my email was not getting delivered. After a few hours, I received a generic email of rejection without any explanation.

This is by far my worst interview experience.
