Rocket Software Engineer I interview questions

Standard screener call after applying online. They use a company called Filtered that records your screen and camera during a "take home" assessment. It then took 2.5 weeks to "review" the Filtered assessment which is to write a proxy--the instructions seem intentionally super ambiguous. The next round was to review the Filtered submission, their only question was, "how would you get this submission ready for production." There were no follow-up questions and we moved on to the design portion of the interview. The question was, "Design a smart light system." The interviewers were not engaged in the interview process, did not provide any guidance or input on what they'd like to see and were generally disinterested throughout the process. It was clear that neither of the interviewers in that last interview had reviewed my Filtered submission prior to our interview.

Interview process was moderately difficult. 2+ hour coding assessment on video. Didn’t enjoy having to get an online IDE “set up” to even begin programming. Final round interview was technical questions mostly based on experience. Recruiter was kind throughout.
