Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

March 29, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  • Recruiter phone screen
  • Technical phone screen (easy LeetCode)
  • 4-5 rounds onsite

Some Observations (hope this helps others, as the instructions the recruiter gives you are not accurate):

  • Misleading candidates on the types of questions asked (confirmed this happened to others).

  • It is mentioned in the instructions that there will not be any LeetCode-style questions during the onsite, even in the Algorithms round, but guess what? They are going to surprise you. So, prepare for it.

  • They will not let you talk to the exec team to ask questions about the financials and how the company is doing. I'm not sure why, but I would recommend you request to talk and learn about the company. Maybe they are trying to hide something.

  • The company is very chill, and no one appears serious about interviews and the job. Some of them were not even prepared.

  • Most interviewers are from Google and brag about working there. They exhibit a superiority complex.

Questions

Prepare for LeetCode, even if instructions say that you don't have to.
