Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
- Initial chat with a hiring manager
- Technical phone screen
- Multiple interviews with 2 people on each spanning front end, backend, system design and behavioral.
Everybody I spoke with was incredibly motivated, cheerful and happy to be talking to me. They seemed passionate about the work they are doing and made me feel super comfortable talking to them. Before the interview, an interview prep assignee chats with you for about 15 minutes to let you know what to expect - this helped a lot. By far the most positive experience I have had interviewing. It helps that every single person I spoke to was going to be on the team I was interviewing for - so it felt more personal than getting judged by some random person I would never see again.
Everybody from the hiring manager to the recruiter to the interviewers were just fantastic. Highly recommend going through the process.
Went through two screenings and virtual onsite. Technical team members were friendly and great to speak with. Recruiters were pretty awful - the one that set up the virtual onsite gave everybody different zoom links and trying to find the correct room to join really cut into my interview time and made me stressed out during the VO. Main recruiter scheduled a phone call to discuss results after the VO for when it was past midnight in my timezone but never called or responded to my followup.
To the recruiter: you don't need to try to keep me warm by scheduling a phone call and ghosting me when I only asked you whats the decision timeline. If its rejection just email to let me know instead of wasting more of my time especially when its late in my timezone.
In general this would've been a positive experience if the recruiters weren't so bad.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (London, England) in Apr 2025
