      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      27 May 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Algorithmia (Seattle, WA) in May 2021

      Interview

      Following my referral from a recruiter, I had a 1:1 phone screen with a representative from HR, followed by a take-home assignment, which should take a few hours. Had I advanced past that stage, there would have been a group technical interview, followed by a live-coding session, and then a couple interviews with the VP and co-founder. While the overall experience was worthwhile, I can't say it was positive with respect to the take-home assignment. Though the exercise was fairly straightforward (at least I thought so), it does take several hours, and you will be provided with absolutely no feedback if your solution does not pass their tests, just a pass/fail from HR. This will no doubt leave a sour taste if you're the type who appreciates understanding why/how their architecture fails, and values learning from their mistakes. Overall, I can only recommend interviewing here if you feel very strongly about the role on the table; otherwise it may not be worth your time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The take-home assignment was fairly simple for anyone with a bit of experience in multi-threading/parallel processing. You have the option of using several languages to implement it, which is great, but unfortunately the sample data they provide is minimal and doesn't stress your solution very much. The platform is also a bit cumbersome as far as rapid testing/prototyping goes, at least in the compiled language I used (I chose to develop locally rather than use their IDE because of this; perhaps that counted against me).

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Algorithmia (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      Went through two rounds of technical interviews. The first was a general screening of my experience, and the work that I do. After that, I was asked to do a take home test, using their platform to publish my results. The second was a more in-depth technical interview, with a live coding exercise.
