July 1, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Overall okay in terms of difficulty - standard SWE interview.

  1. Recruiter Screen
  2. Take home assessment (Hacker rank) 3. 4 on-sites (can be split into 2 days) 2 technical and 2 behavioral. Technicals were either 1 or 1.5 hours, and behaviorals were 45 min each One interviewer completely missed the interview. I was left waiting in the meeting room and had to reach out to interview coordinator to find out that interview needed to be rescheduled. This was extremely unprofessional and left a bad taste in my mouth. They need to respect the candidate's time as well.

Questions

  • Take home: perform queries and output results on data passed in- 1 technical was a continuation of the take-home
  • Other was a 2-D dynamic programming question (number of ways to reach opposite side of the grid with obstacles)- Both behavioral were very standard
  • STAR method/tell me about a time when___
