EDIT:
no offer, the search continues I just had my onsite interview for a Senior SWE position with a unicorn company in Seattle (think similar to Asana, Snowflake, etc.). The rounds consisted of 2 coding problems, 2 system design, and 1 behavioral. I did really poorly on one of the coding problems but I think I did fine in the other 4 rounds. The round I failed was really disheartening because the interviewer kept dropping hints and i couldn’t pick them up. They emphasized the solution needed to be production-level and with test cases but I ended up not having a working solution in the end. So.. that being said I’m wondering if anyone has any similar stories of success or failure? They say one bad round isnt an automatic fail but is that really true though? Lol.
