Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

They are just wasting everyone's time at this point. Someone else added this experience, and my interview experience was EXACTLY like it!

My only question is, why waste everyone's time?

Copying the other person's post just to emphasize the point:

"Not actually hiring, just wasting your time. They are building a tool to help with interviewing candidates, and you are a guinea pig for that. I completed their live coding interview, and the interviewer scaled up the problem three times. I answered all the questions, from the approach to implementation and time complexity. I followed up the next day, and they immediately sent me the copy-pasta email, saying: 'We regret to inform you that we have decided to move forward with other candidates who more closely match our current needs and requirements for this position.'"

Questions

Food delivery companies employ tens of thousands of delivery drivers, who each submit hundreds of deliveries per week. Delivery details are automatically sent to the system immediately after each delivery.

Delivery drivers have different hourly payment rates, depending on their performance. Drivers can take on, and be paid for, multiple deliveries simultaneously.

If a driver is paid $10.00 per hour, and a delivery takes 1 hour and 30 minutes, the driver is paid $15.00 for that delivery.

We are building a dashboard to show a single number – the total cost of all deliveries – on screens in the accounting department offices.
