Appian Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Overall the entire process was very smooth and everyone I interacted with was very professional. There were four stages to the interview process after I applied online. I was contacted by a recruiter and given an overview of the company and interview process. I was then given a take home coding assignment which I completed in a couple days. After submitting the assignment the recruiter reached out and scheduled a phone interview. The phone screen went over the coding assignment and I answered questions relating to my design decisions. After that, I had a four hour on-site interview. The on-site interview consisted of five rounds of different interviewers. Three of them were technical and I had to either whiteboard a coding challenge or complete it in a coding editor on a laptop. After the on-site I received a generic e-mail from the recruiter stating that I didn't fit their target profile. The recruiter offered to give more details in an e-mail or phone conversation but after I asked to setup that conversation, I never heard back from the recruiter. Appian seems to put a lot of weight on how you perform during the coding challenges of the on-site interview. Make sure you review your code and optimize it. My advice is to practice a lot of coding challenges before interviewing.

I was contacted by a recruiter who explained me about the company, team organization and the role. She asked me if I wanted to implement a take-home problem and then give phone interview or give phone interview directly. I opted for the first option and sent her my implementation in a few days. Then I was phone interviewed a few days later and was asked questions about my take home problem. After the phone interview the recruiter contacted me about their intention to move forward and scheduled me for a 4 hour on-site interview next week at their Reston location. At the on-site the first round comprised of an engineer telling me about the company, product and the team structure(kind of like selling Appian to me), the second, third and fourth rounds were technical rounds where I was asked questions about my resume and asked to code a problem. The last round was with the Engineering Director who asked questions on my resume, explained me about the company and asked one or two questions about JavaScript. The recruiter got back to me after 3-4 days and told me that they would not be moving forward with the offer because of my performance on the technical rounds.
