I have about 6 years of work experience as a software engineer. A sourcer reached out to me via email inviting me to apply, followed by a call with a recruiter. The interviews consisted of one technical phone screen (coding), followed by an onsite round (coding, system design, behavioral). The verbal offer took about a week to arrive afterward. The recruiters strongly advised me to prepare extensively for all of the interviews. The company career portal provided role-specific interview training, with examples of questions similar to the ones asked in the actual interview. There were also suggestions to use external resources to provide more, similar practice. All of my interactions were very positive. The recruiters were genuine and did everything she could to be open and transparent about the process (timelines, what to expect, how to prepare, etc.) The interviewers were all well-trained, and I felt that the preparation I did was in line with the questions that were asked (no surprise curve-balls). The interviewer's questions were difficult. Despite easily 100 hours of preparation, I could not solve all of the coding problems asked, and there was not time to cover all of the ground I wanted for the system design interview. However, I felt that the expectations were fair, considering the role. The interview process gave me a very positive impression of the culture of the company. They clearly have put a lot of effort into the candidate experience and the recruitment process, and it showed. I had far more interaction with the recruiters and they were far more willing to answer questions, set up additional calls, etc. The interviewers were also excellent -- they provided a consistently positive experience, and their questions in line with the expectations set by the recruiters. I felt that this made the process more fair and transparent.
