Process
I applied online, and about a week later, a recruiter contacted me and sent me a link to a 60-minute HackerRank challenge.
I completed it and felt I did well. A couple of days later, I received a prompt rejection.
I'm not sure why, as I come from a top-tier institution with what I believe is the best CS program in the world. I thought I at least merited a phone call.
I was very excited about this company and was very disappointed that I wasn't even given a chance.
Questions
I didn't receive a phone call. I just completed a 60-minute HackerRank assessment, which consisted of 8 multiple-choice logic/CS questions and 2 coding questions.

Pure Storage Work Experiences
- 2.0The best company I ever worked for turned into the worst company I ever worked forSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMountain View, California, United StatesOctober 11, 2020Pros: Good compensation and benefits. Not a sweatshop.Cons: A place where arrogance, elitism, and know-it-alls became the only way to thrive. This caused all the really good engineers that are fun to work with to leave. Sadly, a place where good ideas go to die. The only way the execs seem to try to innovate is by acquiring companies, and they fail at it. Stock value is still in the same range as the IPO: a litmus test of the failed vision. The product was great, but the tech is old, and the world has moved on from external storage arrays.
