Squarespace Software Engineer interview experience

In the coding round I used Java to solve a problem, and it required solid data structures and algorithms fundamentals. After that, I also had a system design question.

The difficulty felt average overall, and I went into it feeling confident because my experience was a good match for what was being evaluated. The interviews themselves didn’t feel like they were trying to ambush me; it was more about demonstrating I could reason through the work.

Still, I didn’t receive an offer. The process ended with me feeling like I performed well, but ultimately not well enough to cross the finish line.
