Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

If I had to explain the whole process in a word, that word would be "super-fast". The process started, and I had the offer within 3 days. I was contacted by the recruiter to set up a call. During the call with the recruiter, I was asked a couple of questions (one from SQL and another from web applications). They were easy to answer. I was told during the call itself that they were willing to move forward, and I was asked to share a project I worked on. I shared my project links and got a reply from them within hours that they wanted to move forward further. I was given a coding task to complete using CoderPad. It was one Data Structure classic problem and also untimed. I did it the same day. The next day, I was contacted again to schedule the final round of interview (of 60 minutes). It was a live-coding interview taken by an Engineering Manager, plus some introduction and Q&A. My interview went about 45 minutes, in which I was asked 3 Data Structures array-based questions and other things. I got the call within 5 minutes of the last round from the recruiter, asking about other HR-related things, and the very next day in the morning, I had the offer.

Again, the questions apart from the ones in the first call were based on Array data structure and weren't trivial, but also doable with a fair amount of practice.

I just have to say that I have been into several interview processes, but I had a very positive experience with the overall and very quick process.
