Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

October 1, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

This role was for the SWE - Platform as a Service, CA, USA.

  1. Initial recruiter call.
  2. Take an OA (usually 4 questions). If you know DSA, you'll be okay. One question was matrix (find the ? number), trapping rain water revamped, and I forgot the other two.
  3. Recruiter then took one week to schedule Round 1. They explained it will be behavioral then coding. a. During behavioral, be ready to talk about your resume and experience, and then hypothetical questions depending on your role. For me, a lot of K8, cluster, debugging, etc., and then a random SD design (a resource scheduler). I did well on all of those. b. Coding round: a mid-level question (Top K Frequent), and then LRU Caching. I explained my thoughts and coded them, and then just talked them through. I would say CodeSignal has a lot of constraints.
