      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 22, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Ethos Life (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      They had 3 rounds of technical interviews. the first two of which were straight copy paste of leetcode questions. One of the interviews shamelessly asked me if I had done one of those interview questions before selecting another from leetcode. The company's valuation led to a flocking of young engineers who want to make it big, but the product is not that difficult to build technically. So it felt like these engineers are reinventing the wheel for something that can be done with out of the box tools in the market. Overall, the company felt like it has boring people as you can expect working in the life insurance domain.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      First two rounds were shameless copy paste of leetcode questions involving stack and dynamic programming. Another round involved solving a practical problem of moving data around and flattening json. Interviewer didn't want me to use a python library to do so. He wanted me to code it without it even though he admitted they use libraries to solve that problem in a production setting.
