      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 11, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Bellevue, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SunPower (Bellevue, WA) in Sep 2023

      Interview

      The first part focused on general questions . These included questions like "Tell me about yourself" and "Can you walk me through your professional experience?" The interviewer also asked about specific projects I had worked on, the challenges I faced, and how I overcame them. This part was conversational and allowed me to provide an overview of my skills and accomplishments. The second part involved a technical assessment, which required solving a medium-level problem similar to those found on LeetCode. I was not asked to explain my thought process.
