I recently interviewed for a software engineering role, and it was a great learning experience. The technical portion focused heavily on LeetCode medium-level questions, so I highly recommend reviewing all relevant tagged questions in preparation. The interviewers were well-prepared and asked thoughtful questions that required solid problem-solving skills.
In addition to the technical aspects, they placed a lot of emphasis on behavioral questions, specifically around leadership principles. Make sure to prepare 5-6 stories that align with these principles, structured in the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Having clear, concise examples ready will definitely help.
Overall, it was a challenging but fair interview process.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
