      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2022

      Interview

      HR reached out to begin interview process 1. Initial HR screen: 1 hour long, go over experience on resume, the role, salary expectations, answer questions you may have 2. Hiring manager and short coding interview: 30 min each (1 hour total). A mix of behavioral/culture fit & medium difficulty coding interview question conducted by an engineer on the team. There was time at the end for Q&A Then I proceeded to do virtual onsite with 5 rounds 3. Architecture and design: system design question, be ready to ask clarifying questions, discuss tradeoffs, and do some diagrams 4. Quality and instrumentation: testing and quality assurance related questions. Discussed past projects and how you tested them 5. Engineering practices: ~15 minutes of how you handle engineering practices in current role, follow by 45 min of coding challenge with an engineer 6. Nordstrom fit/technical: Questions about resume, a lot of how would you handle situation x, y, z..., what you look for in a code review. Need to understand best software practices. Ran out of time at the end so didn't get to the short coding portion of this round 7. Sr Hiring manager: No technical in this round, be ready to explain past experiences and answer behavioral questions. They want to know how you work in a team, how you handle conflicts in the past, what you look for in your next role. Overall, it was a good experience. I understand why there were so many rounds but disliked the fact that I basically had to answer the same questions on my resume to many different interviewers.

      I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      Phone screen followed by a four-interview loop. Phone screen was as you'd expect. Loop consisted of an architecture panel, behavioral, behavioral, then two leetcode-style questions. One of them was based on a sorting algorithm.

      Application

      I interviewed at Nordstrom

      Interview

      Interview round included 4x45 min loop interview: behavioral, trendsetter, coding, and system design. For the behavioral and trendsetter, I was asked mostly about experiences. My trendsetter got really technical, as I was asked system design questions...
