Excellent benefits, great people, remote-first culture from pre-COVID, great work/life balance.
The company used to have a rich culture of supporting the development of community, but since current CEO joined and company was sold, it’s had major cash flow problems and management does seem to know how to react. Then GenAI came around and all strategy and vision went out the window.
My interviews are scheduled starting from next week for Senior Software Engineer position at Stack Overflow. There is not much information about the process online.

2 of my friends gave google interviews onsite. Both of them were asked questions that were stack over flow questions(mind you not geeks for geeks or leetcode).

Sitting in on an interview for a mid-level engineer role. We have a small code test in C# (probably LC easy).

Asking for Backend Engineer. At least in my team, we deal with it on a daily basis, sometimes more often than advanced data structures. I don’t think it would be any different for any giant shop. I would definitely include that in the interview criteria, but most, if not all, don’t. Why? Same goes ...Read more
For example Google hired Guido Van Rossum (creator of python) and Jon Skeet (number #1 stack overflow contributor, .net God, owner of the best last name imaginable). Do these people go through the “normal” interview process where a pimply face 28 year old tries to get them to find the longest palin...Read more

How does the machine coding round work? It is for 2 hours. 1. Will the interviewer give me the problem and sit for 2 hours watching me code and explain?
