Let’s all settle here which companies are toughest to crack. My experience: Citadel (this was actually a stupid process but just coz) > G==2S >= (Netflix) FB > Uber > Linkedin(was surprisingly tough, great) >= Apple >> Twitter > Amazon > Msft I personally like Amazon as a company but i think it doesnt stand a chance with others here, so removing it out of the poll after seeing some posts, my apologies.
There's no one ranking, because in most companies the bar depends on: 1. The team you're interviewing with 2. The position you're interviewing for (including seniority) #1 is especially evident in big, diverse, B2B corporations with a huge portfolio of products. #2 can, for example, be affected by organizational structure. Facebook is much flatter than Msft, so it's easier to score a managerial position at Msft.
This is true. There are some teams at Msft, Apple, Amazon where they pay big bucks for the deserving and its hard to categorize difficultly as such, but it’s the average that counts, and this is assuming generic SWE/SSWE.
Is the perception that getting hired at msft is easier than most places??
Not as easy as IBM
Red Hat is all referrals from opensource and github creds, I don’t think they have any strict hiring bar as such, atleast of late.
MBB is hardest
MSFT is harder to get interview from in my experience.
Hell yea. Got resume rejected 3x. Last time I applied, a recruiter contacted me with a broken application link and just ghosted me when I messaged back saying it was broken. Then I just applied on the regular careers page and got a resume rejection.
Lucky for me they reached out, for my colleague who has better experience than me, i had him referred, yet no response. Not sure if it’s the hiring or just the recruiters are lazy..
Albertsons
Honestly - amzn had harder interview questions for me than fb and g. It’s also about the level you test for and team (l6/e5)
RTF thread! Arguably my toughest were Uber and Apple for my specialty, but I generalized just based on SSWE questions asked.
