Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience

Process

I applied online.

There was an OA which was two questions. Then there was a phone screen with a recruiter where you're asked about the company and your background. Then if you pass the phone screen, there is a First Tech Screen and a 3-hour onsite broken down into a 1-hour interview each. I thought I did well in the tech screen as I solved the problem and gave the right time and space complexity, but I was rejected after. I didn't make it to the onsite.

Questions

Gecko Robotics Work Experiences

Lacking direction

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: The best part are the normal employees. Many would sacrifice their own well being over and over to get things done.

Cons: Leadership direction changed all the time. Projects were started and stopped without much long term thought. This led to a lot of quality issues and a lot of thrashing with half built things. C level execs also sometimes felt the need to get involved in the day to day and micromanage which just made things worse.
