Pigment Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process began with a phone screen. They asked me the Gilded Rose question, which involved a bunch of if else statements. I had to explain the code and then refactor it within 45 minutes. We also talked about my past projects and what I do at my current company.

The interview included a recruiter screening, followed by a refactoring exercise, then a Leetcode exercise, a system design interview, and finally a Founder/CTO interview. You can use your preferred language for the coding portions. The first coding task was a straightforward refactoring, and the second was a Leetcode medium problem. They communicated well throughout the process and provided feedback on why I didn't pass.

The hiring process was smooth and quick, with a friendly and highly supportive recruiter throughout. I received insightful feedback at each stage, which helped a lot. The process consisted of 3 rounds, including 2 technical interviews, that was challenging, but I think it's a modern approach to conducting interviews.
