Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

January 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Interviewed for the L2 role on the Channels team.

I completed the online assessment (approximately 3 hours) and passed it. Subsequently, I was notified that they had filled the role and were no longer considering me. No referral to another role was offered either.

Long story short, avoid letting this awful company waste your time.

The assessment included:

  • 2 algorithm problems (listed below)
  • 1 easy SQL problem
  • 1 easy API data retrieval problem
  • 2 trivial multiple-choice problems

Questions

Similar to LC1664 - Ways to Make a Fair Array, except you don't need to count the number of ways to make it fair; you just have to find the single index to remove to make it fair.

If you Google "HackerRank Approximate Matching," you can find some material on it. It involves calculating a text score for substrings of a word based on a given prefix and suffix.
