Status: New grad, MS CS decent state school
Position: XXX Engineer --> where XXX=A software domain (hidden for privacy)
Location: San Diego, CA
Date: March, 2020
I was initially contacted by a recruiter and interviews were scheduled quickly after application. I had also applied to the generic college grad position (probably in Oct/Nov 2019 without any recruiter contact) and that application is still pending.
Technical phone screen (30 min):
- Conceptual CS questions. Relevant to the job description.
- Gave time at the end to ask questions
Onsite converted to virtual:
- HR (15 mins)
- 4 Technical rounds (45 mins each)
- Questions about CV and my projects
- Conceptual CS questions. Relevant to the job description. Highly focused on discussion. Kind of like design questions but less intense. You will do well if you have practical+theoretical knowledge of the subject
- 1 interviewer had me code a couple of LC easy (barely took 3 mins each) in addition to the above
- 1 interviewer had me code one LC medium in addition to the first two points
