Grammarly Software Engineer interview: backend coding and team match

I started with a recruiter screen, then moved into CS fundamentals and a backend coding interview. I also presented my projects before going through team-match conversations. The process felt well organized and clearly communicated. My recruiter kept me grounded by proactively sharing detailed information about each stage.

The technical interviews were challenging but fair. I could tell they cared about how I approached problems, not just whether I produced an answer. Team match was my favorite part. I spoke with several engineering managers from different teams, and each conversation felt genuine. They described their teams honestly and shared real insights. I was matched with my top choice, which made the end of the process feel like a good reflection of my fit.

The difficulty leaned hard, but strong communication and clear feedback reduced much of the usual stress. I left feeling that the process was also about understanding where I would actually fit day to day.
