I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Smartsheet
Interview
- Recruiter reached out and we had a phone call to chat about the role and the company - 1 hour technical screen with another engineer The recruiter chat was great but the technical screen was terrible. The questions themselves were pretty easy, but the interviewer was very unpleasant - they were very irritable and didn’t seem to want to be there.

Question 1
Can’t go into detail, as they have you sign an NDA
Please avoid Smartsheet at all costs. They do not respect candidates’ time. I was contacted for interviews, completed four rounds, and was explicitly told that an offer would be released. Afterward, they delayed the process, saying they were waiting for other roles to be onboarded together. Eventually, they stopped responding altogether no updates, no feedback, and no replies to follow-ups.
This was an extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience. I would not recommend Smartsheet to anyone.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Smartsheet (Bellevue, WA) in July 2025
Interview
Typical HR screener, then technical interview. I solved everything the interviewer asked for but maybe they had too many qualified candidates so I got the rejection the next day. Overall a waste of time.
A recruiter reached out to me followed by an initial 30 min screening call. After that they scheduled a 1hr call with Engineering Manager. 1h of system design round and 1hr of DSA round, both on coderpad.

Question 1
They concentrate on scaling and questions related to that. For DSA leetcode easy, medium level questions are enough.
