A Reddit user posted seeking advice regarding an SDE 2 offer from Safe Security, with a base salary of 40 LPA and ESOPS. The user was unemployed after a layoff.

While the detailed round-by-round breakdown from this specific candidate is not provided, the discussion highlights key aspects of the interview and company culture.

One comment from a related Reddit post (cited in the SDE 2 offer discussion) mentions that the company explicitly told a rejected friend they "will be working their employees for long hours and that they don't see him fit."

Another Reddit post from around the same time mentions a friend experiencing "absolute carnage at Safe Security interviews yesterday," with the general sentiment being "Worst company to interview for. Beware going for these companies even in desperate times."

The overall impression from the Reddit discussions and the SDE 1 LeetCode experience (which also referenced Reddit reviews) suggests that the interviews, while not always technically "hard" in terms of complex DSA, heavily involve cultural fitment for an extremely demanding work environment.
