The interview process for a software engineer role usually starts with resume screening followed by a quick 15-30 minute recruiter call. Next comes a technical phone screen (45-60 mins) with 1-2 coding questions on platforms like LeetCode. Candidates who pass are invited to virtual or onsite interviews (4-6 rounds), which typically include: 2-3 coding/algorithm rounds, 1 system design round, and 1-2 behavioral/cultural fit interviews. Some companies also add a take-home assignment or pair-programming session. The entire process usually takes 2-6 weeks, and strong performance across coding, design, and communication is key to receiving an offer.
