Interview
I applied for a Senior Software Engineer position based in San Francisco and successfully passed the initial online coding assessment. Shortly after, the recruiter informed me that the role in SF was no longer available and asked if I would be open to relocating to their Virginia office. I declined, as I was only interested in SF-based opportunities.
Two weeks later, the same recruiter reached out again to say the SF position had reopened and encouraged me to reapply using a link she provided. She also mentioned that since I had already passed the coding assessment, I could move directly to the onsite interview stage. However, the application link she sent was invalid. During a follow-up call, she told me the original application was still active and I didn’t need to reapply.
Oddly, she once again asked if I was willing to relocate to Virginia—despite our earlier conversation where I had already made it clear I wasn’t. This raised concerns about the communication and organization within the hiring process.
Despite these red flags, I proceeded with the onsite interview and felt confident in my performance across all sessions. However, I was later informed that they would not be moving forward with my application. When I requested feedback, the recruiter declined to provide any.
Overall, I found the experience disorganized and lacking transparency. Proceed with caution if you’re considering applying here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement storage interface to add, delete, copy files
Design Bank Application to create accounts , and deposit / withdraw / transfer money
Power day style interview, two coding, one system design, one behavioral. Everyone was nice, but the interviewers seemed a little under prepared and/or new to interviewing in general. Questions where essentially leetcode medium/hard almost word for word.

Code assessment then to power day interview with 4 rounds. Overall the power day interviews were okay except for the case study. The interviewer was disengage while being on their phone the whole time. There was a part where the interviewer said fix the mistakes then went back to their phone. I pointed out their code has other errors with template and was ignored. Then while attempting to fix those (10 mins later) they mentioned to ignore that part and focus on the very bottom part of the code. What a waste of time and very unprofessional. This makes me wager a few of the interviewers probably could not pass their own interview process today.
