As a new graduate, SWE 2 was my only option.

I rate this interview process as bad due to unclear communication about the interview itself. The actual timeline from passing the assessment to a decision on an offer was about 2.5 months for me, although I was told it would take a month.

My interview process consisted of:

• An assessment
• A technical take-home interview
• A behavioral interview (at least, that's what I was told).

The assessment and take-home interview were fine. However, the final interview was not as described. I was told it would be behavioral with no technical questions. Instead, the engineer I interviewed with asked me a system design question and requested I code it, which completely caught me off guard since technical questions were not expected.

The take-home assignment asked to create a profile using a front-end language (JavaScript or React).

The back-end question was about a movie theater and a queue system.

The final round asked me to implement and code the product recommendation system for their website.
