This experience concerns a **Software Engineer Intern** interview with **Sorting Robotics** in the **United States**, conducted **onsite**. ## Outcome and timing - **Result:** Rejected - **Interview date:** 10 months ago - **Experience submitted:** 6 months ago - **Overall timespan:** 2 weeks - **Difficulty:** Difficult - **Rounds:** 4 questions across 4 rounds ## Interview process The process was described as simple but very unorganized, and the interview was postponed once. The candidate would have preferred advance information about the question domains; the final round was more behavioral but was not well done. The four stages were: 1. Recruiter screen 2. Online assessment 3. Phone interview 4. Technical interview ## Interview rounds ### Recruiter screen **1 question** **Question type:** [Technical](https://www.aced.io/questions?type=technical) **Specific question:** [Explain multithreading.](https://www.aced.io/questions/3264) ### Online assessment **1 question** The remaining public details of this round are members-only. ### Phone interview The available rendered experience describes this as **45 minutes with a senior interviewer**, consisting mostly of open-ended questions, a short follow-up near the end, and substantial pushback on tradeoffs. **Question:** How would you improve a product you use every day for a new market? **Sample response:** The candidate picked a segment first, sized it, and compared three options before choosing one and its success metric. ### Technical interview The available rendered experience describes this as **45 minutes with a senior interviewer**, consisting mostly of open-ended questions, a short follow-up near the end, and substantial pushback on tradeoffs. **Question:** How would you improve a product you use every day for a new market? **Sample response:** The candidate picked a segment first, sized it, and compared three options before choosing one and its success metric. ## Interview tips Practice out loud with a timer, keep a framework ready for every round, and ask the recruiter what each interviewer focuses on so you can tailor your examples. ## Company culture Interviewers were described as collaborative and as consistently steering discussion toward the user.
