Full-Stack Software Developer Interview Experience - Berkeley, California

April 1, 2019

Process

The process included a coding challenge through HackerRank and a video call interview. Both were very reasonable.

The HackerRank challenge involved:

  • A full-stack type of question (involving HTTP requests)
  • An algorithmic/dynamic programming question
  • A very open-ended question, which they mentioned would be reviewed by the hiring manager (no test cases for that one)

The interview itself was somewhat nonstandard for a coding interview, as it did not involve any coding at all. The interviewer asked me behavioral and background questions for the entire time, which I found very interesting.

The overall process was very quick. The interview was scheduled within a few days of me completing the HackerRank challenge, and I received an offer the day after my interview. (However, this may have been in part because I interviewed in April, which is fairly late in their recruiting season, so they were likely rushing.)
