Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through a recruiter.
The process included:
- A first online test.
- Then a one-hour coding pair with a person.
- Finally, a virtual on-site interview.
The interviewers were friendly. However, they asked coding questions that were completely irrelevant to the position I applied for. They don't really want good developers; they just want someone who can memorize algorithms for some useless coding challenges. It's not hard if you've spent a lot of time on LeetCode. It felt like a waste of time.
