Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview was conducted through Karat.

The first part consisted of 20 minutes of system design questions. These questions appeared open-ended, but based on later feedback, the interviewers were clearly looking for specific elements to be mentioned.

The last 30 minutes involved a coding exercise. The coding problems themselves weren't difficult, but the environment was completely unrealistic. It included a hard stop at 30 minutes and absolutely no debugging tools available, other than print statements.
