I applied online. I interviewed at Smartsheet in Mar 2024
Interview
Standard process - 1st round with manager, then loop interview with 1 coding + 1 system design + 1 behavior round. The questions are fairly simple and I had no issue answering those. One of the interviewers even shared that my experience matches closely with one problem they are trying to solve and promised that I should get a result next week.
Things got weird from here. They went radio silence since then. I followed up after 3 weeks and they promised to give result next week (again). Of course they never came back. When I finally got another offer and told them that I need a final answer to decide, they told me they are very busy and can't give any decision now and told me to just accept the other offer. Well of course I'm not going to wait for you, but congratulations for setting the new low in terms of hiring standards. And guess what, despite all their "busyness", the exact same job went live again a couple weeks later.

Question 1
From a list of strings, group together words that are anagrams of each other.
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.
