Coding System Design Behavioral
First, there was a recruiter call. Then, I had to answer some Leetcode questions, followed by a system design interview that seemed related to the business. Finally, I had a hiring manager interview. There was a lot of discussion on the questions. My experience outside of the recruiter and manager calls wasn't discussed much. The whole process took less than two months, although scheduling took a while on my end. They could have moved faster, but they were cool about my availability. While interviews aren't great, the folks at Docusign were respectful of my time, which made for a good experience.

Technical Coding
I wanted to share my technical phone screen experience at DocuSign since I've benefited from reading others' reviews. The problem involved string manipulation, not a typical leetcode style but not overly difficult. I asked for clarification on parameters. Before I started, the interviewer asked about broader applications, and I gave some examples. Then, the interviewer became condescending, questioning my fit for a lead role. They then asked about function specs, a valid question, which I answered. The interviewer insisted I wasn't understanding and questioned my lead role application again, before stating specs similar to what I had already said. While I might not have communicated perfectly, that didn't justify the interviewer's behavior. I felt they were trying to assert superiority. Ultimately, I decided to end the interview early, stating it wasn't productive for either of us and not wanting to waste more time.

Coding Technical
I felt I was interviewed by someone quite inexperienced and the goal of the interview was to test my patience. The interviewer shared with me a description and what I found out towards the end was that we wanted to follow it specifically word-by-word to match the "spec." However, the interviewer never shared this expectation or had the description neatly outlined so I read it a bit more freely and still did my best to ask clear questions. But sometimes that just doesn't work. It just felt overly complicated for the wrong reasons and was a frustrating experience.

- A very basic coding interview but we weren't aligned in communication
