SurveyMonkey Software Engineer II interview questions

The process started with a recruiter screen, followed by a 1-hour Python technical screen on CodeSignal. After passing that, I had a virtual onsite split across two days: a 1-hour code review round, a 1-hour behavioral interview, and a 1-hour system design interview. The code review focused on reading existing code, finding bugs, explaining tradeoffs, and suggesting fixes/tests. The behavioral round was detailed and heavily based on resume deep-dives, STAR stories, mentorship, conflict resolution, trust, and project execution. The system design round was practical and conversational rather than overly abstract. Overall, the process felt structured, fair, and pretty comprehensive for an SWE II role.
