Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I had two interviews: a phone interview on April 26, 2022, and a technical assessment interview with Karat Online Assessment. The assessment, which took place after 10 days, included a coding and a system design question. Then, we booked an appointment for the virtual onsite interview, but they canceled it the night before, stating that the company had frozen the hiring process for three months.
Questions
Code question about Graphs and Binary Tree Diameter.
Six small system design questions covering the best approach to solving specific problems, caching, streaming, and large-scale systems.
