Associate Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

May 1, 2013
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Had a phone screen, then called in for an onsite at the SF office.

Involved video conferencing with a couple of folks in the London office and NY office, and two people at the SF office.

Most of the questions involved were pretty basic:

  • Algorithms
  • Searching
  • Hash maps
  • SQL
  • Java and C++

Never got called back, even after two weeks. I kept checking with HR every week for the next five weeks, and the standard response was, "The team hasn't made a decision yet." I had another offer and informed HR, and she said, "They don't want to go ahead with your candidacy at this point."

Questions

Design questions

I can't remember, but they were general design questions on algorithms.
