Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The process seemed pretty standard for Bay Area tech companies.
- Technical screening
- Technical screening with an engineer
- Onsite (virtual)
I got past the first screening but not the second. Overall, I'd say the technical questions were harder than average.
Questions
For the coding challenge/screening, I was asked 4 coding problems with a 70-minute time limit.
Two problems were on average LeetCode Easy, with the rest being Medium/Hard.
The goal was to pass around 75% of the test cases, combining all problems.
During the second screening with an engineer, I was asked to construct a Quadtree given a 2D matrix of integers.
