Process

Three rounds of interviews, which almost took three weeks to complete.

I had two online video interviews asking about my technical skills and requiring me to complete a few algorithms.

I had one round with HR to discuss my availability and other details.

Questions

I am diving into my JavaScript skills by implementing different functions and algorithms. It is completely a two-way discussion.

Unwelcoming Team, Horrible Experience

Software Engineer • Former Employee

San Francisco, California, United States

October 14, 2024

Pros: Seems like a good mission.

Cons: The team I was on was not welcoming to having a woman engineer. The challenges I faced with my engineering manager and other engineers were so horrible I left the company in 6 months. I was lucky to have found an amazing company to work for shortly after with the best team. As a woman engineer, I did not feel welcome. I faced major challenges from my male co-workers who all dismissed me, made me feel unwelcome and depressed... so much so I quit. This was about 3 years ago. Looking back, I almost gave up my career as an engineer. Chegg was my first engineering job. Three years later at my current company, I have had the most supportive team, best managers, and feel included.
