Software Development Summer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
Applied through the school job database.
Initially contacted via email to arrange a phone screen and an online coding challenge.
Met on-site for two 45-minute interviews. The first was behavioral, focusing on past experiences from the resume. The second was a technical coding challenge.
The office was a little dim upon entering (apparently, employees preferred working in the dark) and featured a casual workspace with some individuals on standing desks, exercise balls, and similar items.
Questions
The technical question was to create classes and unit tests for:
- Basic logic gates
- A half adder
- A full adder
- A 4-bit ripple carry adder
...in Java or Python.

Grubhub Work Experiences
- 5.0Pretty good so farSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeChicago, Illinois, United StatesAugust 1, 2017Pros: Everyone is pretty smart and is a pleasure to work with.Cons: None so far. Everything is good.
- 4.0Good company, challenging market, uncertain future, new leadershipStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeChicago, Illinois, United StatesMay 4, 2023Pros: New CEO seems better than old, trying to be more strategic. Good WLB if you don't want to go above and beyond. Meetings are not too early or too late, ever, and there are half-day Fridays. Fun product (food). No layoffs yet.Cons: Although many employees are remote, there is a strong push back to the office, and it has been made clear that advancement opportunities for remote workers will be limited. The company is not hiring remote employees anymore. On-call can be stressful, though usually not in the middle of the night, since the company is only in US time zones. There are not enough engineers to do all that is needed. It often feels like putting out fires more than making strategic new features. The stock is very weak (even compared to similar companies), causing compensation to always be much worse than promised. Compensation is very good but not competitive with many big tech companies that have better performing stock and are actually profitable.
- 5.0Great place to workSoftware Engineer II • Current EmployeeChicago, Illinois, United StatesMarch 28, 2021Pros: Work-life balance is great.Cons: Nothing I can think of.
