Vercel Software Engineer Interview Experience
Interview process
The process was fairly straightforward, and most interviewers were easy to talk to. I felt good about the coding portion, especially when I took a minute to clarify the requirements before jumping in. I could have handled the design discussion better—I spent too long on the initial approach and had to rush through some tradeoffs at the end. Having a clearer idea of what each round would cover would have helped.

Tips from the candidate
Practice explaining your thinking while you code, including how you’d test your solution and handle edge cases. Have a couple of projects ready to discuss in detail: what you built, why you made certain decisions, and what you’d change now. During the interview, clarify ambiguous requirements early and leave time to check your work.
Company culture
The conversations felt focused but friendly. Interviewers asked follow-up questions and seemed interested in how I approached problems. I appreciated having time to ask about the team’s day-to-day work. I would have liked more detail about onboarding and how priorities are decided, since those topics only came up briefly.
