Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks.

I had a phone call with a recruiter, after which they scheduled a LeetCode-style coding problem for 1 hour. I am not certain if they had the expectation of solving 2 problems in 1 hour, because there was something being said about "first we will solve this problem." In any case, the 1st problem was on topological sorting, and I solved it in Python completely.

At the end, I never got sent to the next stage, even after solving a medium difficulty problem involving topological sort, not just some array sorting. I found that very strange and quite disappointing from an interviewing standpoint.
