      Software Engineer (Remote) Interview

      16 Jan 2020
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Handshake in Apr 2019

      Interview

      Interviewing with Handshake was a very smooth experience. My remote interviews were scheduled very quickly and all of the interviewers I met with were friendly, knowledgable, and it was obvious that they enjoyed their role and were excited about the mission of Handshake.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      OOP design, system design, build a basic web app
      Answer question
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Handshake (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2019

      Interview

      Quick, clear and fun. Handshake was extremely clear about their timeline and expectations for each interview. The interview questions themselves were not as tricky as some companies put candidates through. I found the questions (and the answers they received) to be a better indicator of Engineering skills than most engineering interviews typically produce.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      High level systems designs question (explain how you would build twitter)
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Create an API and a frontend that consumes that API
      Answer question
