Discord cares; it's palpable inside, and it matches the way Discord presents on the outside. There is whimsy, fun, belonging, and building. There are amazing folks who are approachable, smart, and a delight to work with. As a company, Discord is pretty responsive, and I've seen many changes that were spurred on by employees.
Discord can be a bit chaotic. The top-level management is mostly about providing the right vibes, leaving many departments and teams to operate autonomously. This can make work feel disjointed and thrashy.
Work hard to figure out how to make Discordians work together well, with a little less chaos.
Recruiter behavioral interview with standard questions about past projects. Then an interview with the hiring manager. Two coding interviews afterwards, with the last interview being a live virtual onsite.
Applied -> Recruiter -> HM -> Tech Screen. First three rounds went great, but the Tech Screen was a very different experience and felt very out of time with modern software interviewing practices.
Recruiter Call This call involved usual behavioral questions, with the exception of a "tell me about a time when you were building something and had to make tradeoffs" question that caught me off guard. Apparently, my answer to this was satisfactory
