Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Standard HR - tell me about a time type questions. Technical round: LeetCode style easy, string and list manipulation On-site: 5x 1 hour rounds 🤮. Values, Project based, HM / team fit, Coding, Architecture
Questions
Recruiter was rather pushy. Mostly tell me about a time questions. The emphasis on their values and needing to know them ahead of the on-site rubbed me the wrong way. They want you to drink the Koolaid before even joining.
In my opinion that was the red-flag to steer clear of this company. Its fake and not authentic.
