The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smartsheet (Bellevue, WA)
Interview
Coding challenge followed by an entire afternoon of onsite loops with whiteboarding. Very nice people, morale pretty high across teams as far as I could tell. Classy office, felt very welcomed. Interviewers were transparent about things they are working on and technical challenges, gave me a good idea of what I'll be doing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
NDA, but expect Leetcode-style data structures/algorithms and system design questions of varying complexity.
Difficult but it went well. there weren't as many technical questions as i was expecting, but it was clear the technical questions asked were relevant to the specific role i applied for.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Smartsheet in Feb 2024
Interview
Recruiter told me the interview would be:
10 min intro
40 min 1 - 2 coding problems
10 min wrap up. I ask questions.
When I got onto the video call with the interviewer she did not give the overview "this is how this will go." After brief introductions she asked me a values based question. I had no idea if there was a coding question next and how much time we are supposed to leave for it. Then we got to the coding problem.
Informal interview which would have been followed by 3 short interviews then finally a culture fit interview. I don't know much besides this as i didn't get past the first stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It seemed like it was the interviewers first or second interview. A few questions about my experiences and then a very very basic coderpad which I solved after providing a couple of potential solutions. The interviewer asked me the complexity of the algorithm and he didn't really seem to understand complexity analysis which made the whole thing a bit awkward
