Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process was okay; it definitely felt a bit informal. There was a decent amount of discussion about my past experience. It seems the team I interviewed with isn't hiring generalists like Google does, but experienced specialists. Therefore, being able to solve algorithms and systems design questions is only a small part of the interview.

I wasn't asked any behavioral questions for the team I interviewed with.

Two separate interviewers, on two separate occasions, asked me about other companies I was interviewing with. Having a competing offer and being able to mention it definitely helped my interview process. I'm not a fan of this, as I'd rather the interview process be based purely on merit. However, many tech companies these days seem to judge candidates based on their other offers (or lack thereof).

In total, there was one onsite screen with whiteboard coding and diagramming, followed by four technical onsite interviews and a talk with a hiring manager.

Questions

Algorithm questions that required various knowledge of 2D array traversal, heaps, sorting, DFS & BFS.

A few systems level design questions were also relevant to the role.

There was also a mostly coding question.
