      Software Development Engineer In Test Interview

      Jun 11, 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Denver, CO
      Accepted offer
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shutterstock (New York, NY) in Nov 2019

      Interview

      Typical Software Engineering interview. Talk to the recruiter, then coding phone screen, finally onsite. Basically long story short there are levels to the coding questions they ask you, you will be assessed on how well you can do the problem from easy to hard. you will get docked points for not understanding the problem completely, using inefficient algorithms, etc. Basically your goal is to make it to the end of the interview process with the least amount of red flags as possible. The best thing to do is to look at this as a learning experience and keep getting better at doing technical interviews regardless of outcome.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Due to NDA I can't disclose this but they use hacker rank as their coding interview platform. I did a mix between 60 leetcode easy,medium and hard question to get ready.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Shutterstock (Denver, CO) in May 2020

      Interview

      TLDR; interviews were appropriate and recruiter was timely. I was offered the job but they took it away 2 weeks later. The recruiter contacted me and we had a 10 minute call where he described the position and I expressed my interest in it. (All interviews were held virtually) Next was an hour long interview with one SDET where I answered some easy technical questions and did a short coding exercise. I did not finish the exercise, but he stated that I did well and my thoughts and process were what interested him. The final interview was a 3.5 hour block of 30 to 60 minute interviews. During these interviews I answered questions about my QA process, development process, technologies used, past work experience, and general HR (how would you handle A, B, C) situations. There were 2 coding exercises during this block. (It was explained that they usually do more but have recently scaled back to assure the one coding exercise that is mandatory is done well). The recruiter was very timely in his responses and I was offered the position in less than 1 day after the final interview. Then I was kept on hold for almost 2 weeks. I was told he would have my official offer letter ready "today" several times. Then out of the blue I was told that the position was moved to Ireland and they were no longer hiring in Denver. There was nothing for me to do.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Signed an NDA. Overall, 3 short coding questions in JS. Nothing too difficult. The large block of interviews was split up to ask questions about every aspect of the job: QA. development, resume, people skills.
