Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.

They give you a very lengthy problem description that essentially boils down to writing ~4-5 if-statements to verify different conditions that are present in the problem statement. So brush up on your reading speed and comprehension and don't worry too much about complex leetcode problems.

My code passed the test cases within the allotted time given, but I think my interviewer was mostly focused on writing the solution that they expected and couldn't allow me to write different code than they expected. So you either code exactly what they expect or you fail. Probably not the kind of place you want to work.

After answering this part, there was a followup where they asked me to write pseudo code since most candidates run out of time writing actual code. So I started writing pseudo code but it just turned into fully functioning actual code. But I got an email the next day about a rejection, so I don't know what they want.
