Senior Staff Engineer/Director Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts

September 1, 2018
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

There were several calls with the in-house recruiter before arranging a technical screening.

The tech screen was conducted by a strong engineer from the group. He asked a question modeled after a real-world problem rather than some random array problem. They used a coding tool that could run your code.

After clearing the tech screening, I met with the hiring executive by phone. This led to a decision to bring me on-site.

The on-site interview was all day and included the VP in charge of the group and the CTO. During a one-hour session, there was a business problem stated on paper, and I was asked to develop a plan to implement the feature. Lunch, coffee, and refreshments were appropriately provided.

Questions

A fictitious website was created, and there was a desire to quickly test whether a new feature could improve the site's revenue performance. The problem statement included a high-level architectural diagram of the existing system.
