Appian Principal Software Engineer interview questions

An initial phone call with recruiter was followed by a single call with an engineer to do basic verification that you were a human being with some skills. After that, there was a mostly standard afternoon of interviews one days. These were a mix of technical and behavioral interviews over the course of several hours. There was one interview with a person close to or in the C-suite which was a requirement at that point.

The coordination/scheduling of the interviews was top notch. The initial conversation with the recruiter was great too. I had 3 rounds of technical interview and I felt I wasn't assessed thoroughly. Depending on the years of experience of the candidate I feel each successive round should be different. For me all were boilerplate rounds with 30 mins of coding specific to DSA, 10 minutes from the resume and 5 minutes to ask questions to the interviewer. In my 3rd round I was asked to talk about my previous design experience which is fine. Rather the assessment really should be from the actual issue or problem faced by the product that assesses Coding/Problem Solving, Design (LLD/HLD) and the language. This way a candidate can be assessed holistically.
