Software Engineer II Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I applied through a recruiter.
The recruiter was really nice and the first two rounds of interviewing were very logical LeetCode problems. Pretty straightforward as long as you are logical about data structures. I got the HM interview and I thought it went well, but I got a rejection the next day. I think after that was the final round including a system design and domain-based interview.
