Esri Software Engineer interview experience

If selected, the plan would move me to Redlands for four rounds. Overall it sounded smooth, but what determined the result for me was a DSA-style coding problem.

I wasn’t offered the role, and the explanation I got was that another candidate solved the same kind of problem in less time. That made it feel less like I was being evaluated on overall fit across a broader set of criteria, and more like performance on a specific coding moment mattered heavily for the decision.
