& General Intuition Software Engineer Interview Experience: an uneven hiring-manager conversation

I do not remember every technical detail, but the overall experience was noticea…

& General Intuition Software Engineer interview with AI coding round

I started with an HR call, then about a week later had a 45-minute online coding interview. That felt like the core screen: solve the problem live and explain my thinking as I went.

It tested more than one narrow…

Software Engineer interview at & General Intuition

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.
