Software Engineer Interview Experience
Interview process
Very professional recruiter. Recruiter did not waste my time and was very good to work with. I think even though the coding problem wasn't typical DSA, you still have to prep for good syntax. AI assistance is allowed, but feels like you're being judged a bit for using it.

5 minute introduction
Interview introduced themselves, I answered brief questions about my background. Jumped into coding assignment afterwards.
Coding question
They will give you a coderpad where you'll have to complete the implementation of stubbed functions. You can find this question online, if you google correctly. It's implementing functionality of a basic editor. Notion does not do Leetcode style questions.
Any questions?
Interviewer asked if I have any questions
Interview tips
- Don't grind leetcode, practice python syntax and solving problems for stubbed functions. - Understand how notion works under the hood and how workspaces and pages are stored as data
Company culture
The culture seemed energetic and contagious. They care about ownership, so try to show that when talking to the recruiter.
