      Software Engineer Interview

      2 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Diego, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zego (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      The overall process was pretty straightforward and a little harder than expected, but a great experience nonetheless. I first expressed my interest to the HR in a response to a recommendation from a professor. I was immediately contacted by HR to complete an online application. Within a couple of days, I proceeded to the next stage of the interview process which required me to complete an online behavioral assessment and a timed IQ exam. From there, to verify my results to my IQ exam, I was once again asked to complete the timed IQ test, this time during a webcam session with the HR. Here, the HR asked me some easy questions to get to know me and a little bit more about my resume and overall background as a student. After the webcam session, I was contacted by HR within a couple of days to schedule a phone interview with a Engineering manager. The phone interview was pretty straightforward: mostly technical questions pertaining to the job with a couple of "why do you want to be PayLeaser" type of questions. From there, I was asked to come in for an in-person interview within the next week. This interview stage was really interesting. Here, I was interviewed by a panel of interviewers (including an interviewer on webcam) who all held positions in middle-management. I was asked intermediate questions pertaining to my technical experience, two in which I was asked to draw on the white board. The next set of questions pertained to code on my Github, where I was given a peer review by the interviewers. After the panel interview, I was immediately given a one-on-one interview with a high-ranking manager. Questions mostly pertained to my background, interests, etc. - more soft skill related. I was then asked to proceed into the final stage of the interview process which required me to once again go in for another in-person interview - another panel interview. This interview was less technical than before and focused more on my resume, what I could offer, etc. In the end, I wasn't offered a position but the overall process was a great experience. The overall interview process lasted about a month and included: 2 assessments, 1 webcam interview, 1 phone interview, 1 one-on-one in person interview, and 2 panel interviews. The HR was really helpful in my preparation for each interview, so ask questions! Good luck!
