      Software Engineer Interview

      16 Jun 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Handshake

      Interview

      First round was a typical technical interview (I found my interview question on Glassdoor actually (which helped a ton), so if you're reading this then you're probably gonna be fine - though they change it every recruiting season I think, so definitely check out some of the other reviews) Second round was a take home project (building a web app with certain requirements) Third round was a presentation on the take home project (questions like "why did you do it this way" or "how could you have made this better / faster /etc) Final round interview was a behavioral interview ("Tell me about a time when..." type questions) Overall, it was really good! Everyone was super kind (got so many emails from folks welcoming me and offering to answer any questions I might have).

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Handshake in Apr 2025

      Interview

      The interview process was very well-organised and transparent. The recruiter maintained excellent communication throughout and was both professional and responsive. Each person I met was well-prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and had deep knowledge in their respective fields. Overall, the experience was positive and gave me a great impression of the company.

      Interview

      Recruiter call followed by tech screen. Same question others have described. I provided a working solution but was rejected for reasons unknown. No feedback was shared. Not a good experience.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Handshake in Dec 2024

      Interview

      Interview Process: 1) OA - easy/med leetcode 2) Technical Phone Interview - Work solo for 1 hour adding requirements of a given take-home assignment for both frontend and backend. Then 1 hour with interviewer to discuss what you have done 3) Hiring Manager Interview - talking about your projects Overall, a simple process. Although, the hiring manager I talked with seemed to be annoyed and was cold. No pleasant introductions, straight to the point.
