Otter.ai Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience — Two Tech Screens, Three Onsites and a Silent Coding Interviewer

Tech Screen - 1
LC 2654 with one of the SDEs from the company. The focus was on executing code so that it compiles, not a lot of focus on edge cases etc. I was able to get this through with minimal help.

Tech Screen - 2
A Senior Manager from the team. I explained project work with a presentation.

Onsite 1
Another senior manager doing behavioral questions.

Onsite 2
Google Docs system design with a focus on collaboration and backend architecture. They were not very concerned with control plane flows.

Onsite 3
Coding round. The interviewer did not frame the question at all and said to assume some methods are available, while I had to code it explicitly. Minimal interaction while I coded this up. I lost a bit of time and barely completed the code to pass the basic test case. Better to reschedule if you get this interviewer.

I do not mind rejections, as long as candidates are given a fair chance.
