This interview experience covers my technical phone screen for a software engineer position at hims & hers. It lasted about 30 minutes and focused on various technical questions. The interviewer was nice and professional, and they started with some behavioral questions before moving on to coding.

I was asked to solve a couple of coding problems, one of which was related to string manipulation. They wanted to see my thought process and how I approached solving the problem. I had to explain my reasoning clearly as I wrote the code.

In addition, they asked some situational questions to see how I’d handle real-life scenarios in the workplace. Overall, it felt like a good experience, and I hope to move forward to the next stage!
