STRIVR Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I applied through a direct internal referral and went through two rounds. The first round was a 1-hour Hackerrank coding challenge, which I found to be easy to medium difficulty but a bit unclear. The sample test case didn't seem to match the problem statement. The second round was a 1-hour phone screen technical interview. The interviewer started by asking about my background and then shared a Hackerrank link for live coding. I tried my best to pass all test cases, but I couldn't. I explained my thought process, but I think they had higher expectations for an intern.

I applied online and got an email. The HR person talked to me a bit about my background and then set up a technical phone interview. The interviewer called about 10 minutes after the scheduled time, without even apologizing. He first asked me 1-2 questions about my past projects, then we moved onto a coding question, similar to LeetCode easy/medium. While I was working on it, I made a small, easily fixable mistake, and after that, he seemed to want to end the interview quickly. I pushed to finish the question, getting about 95% done, but before I could complete it, he said it was clear I wouldn't finish in the remaining time and ended the interview 10 minutes early. It felt like a waste of time, but the role the HR person described did sound interesting.

I started with a phone screen where they asked me some personality and technical questions about VR and C#/C++. After that, I had an on-site interview where I got to meet the team.
