Waiting for result
I had a technical phone screen interview for a software engineer position with hims & hers. The interview lasted about 5 hours and consisted of a few coding questions as well as discussions about past projects.
The interview began with a brief introduction where the interviewer asked about my background and experiences. After that, they presented a coding challenge that involved string manipulation and algorithms. I was given a scenario and asked how I would approach solving the problem systematically.
After the coding questions, we transitioned into discussing system design. I had to outline how I would build a scalable application feature to handle user interactions while maintaining performance.
Overall, I felt that the questions were quite challenging but reasonable, given the role, and I appreciated the feedback provided during the interview.
