Told the recruiter what happened, he said he has feedback in the system from the call. he rescheduled the phone screen with another interviewer. Did I get the first guy in troubl...Read more
I was supposed to start the process for E5 (phone screen soon) but my recruiter mentioned that they are pausing hiring rn due to business needs. Another layoff coming?
Seemingly neverending process Absolutely disrespectful to interviewee's time No clue which team you're going to work in Need written offers to negotiate. Company is fine, interview process is not. Update: Got an offer, not joining. The process made me salty.
My interview got canned but I'm already in SF. Going to go visit apple park and other places just to do some sightseeing. I have a stack of resumes in hand too. Anyone have any advice they can give me? Edit - Thanks for all the advice everyone! I appreciate the feedback and travel tips. Back home ...Read more
Hi everyone, This is my first ever post on blind. Kinda feeling a bit heartbroken so wanted to get this off my chest. I had my Meta final interview a week back and today I got a call from my recruiter that I got rejected by HC (hiring committee). I was told that the feedback from my interviewers w...Read more
I started at Google more than ten years ago as an L3, and have been an L6 for a few years now. If I want to transfer to, let’s say, Meta or Amazon, I need to go through the code interview grind. Shouldn’t culture fit and team match interviews be enough? Having a full cycle of interviews from FAANG ...Read more
I’ve started interviewing for SDE1/Intern roles and many candidates are clearly using ChatGPT or another LLM bot to solve problems… many are super obvious; ‘give me one moment to think’ as they type a question, read the answer, then finally respond without really understanding the logic. Was it alwa...Read more
I fkd up bad. Had an interview, was confused about the question and how it had been set up, and exactly the context of the code. I kept asking questions and saying I would do it like this... 5-6 mins in and the interviewer just wrote out some of the code said it should be like this said we're don...Read more
I was reached out by a Meta recruiter for a SWE position. I was not really looking for a job, but I decided to take it for practice, and who knows if the offer was right, I would take it! I did the interview. I was able to do the first question, which was trivial. For the second/third questions, I ...Read more
I’ve had on average three interviews a week for the last six weeks. I either get to round 1 and receive rejection or I don’t pass the initial phone screen. I’ve had one panel interview, which went alright but probably won’t translate into an offer. 10 YOE TC 385 -> 0 Edit: round 1 isn’t phone s
No joke I had my open Ai software engineer interview scheduled for next week Will I still get asked LeetCode hard or will they now ask me just to be candid? #openai Seriously though is it even worth my time?
I got an opportunity to interview for L5 Software Engineering role a few weeks ago. I have been busting my ass off on LeetCode cos go big or go home right? I had my first phone chat with the recruiter yesterday, she said it went really well and she that is rooting for me to make it to the end. She ...Read more
My husband just got citizen last year and he filed for me two weeks later. Well our interview coming up for my green card next week. Well earlier today we got in an argument and he said if I don’t start acting correctly it will only be me in that interview.. I was so confused never has he done this ...Read more
I just got my first rejection from a complete interview round after layoff, and it's so brutal. You think you do a good job on the interviews, or at least okay, but they give you no feedback, and then ask how they can improve the candidate experience. Like, if you can't at least give me some detai...Read more
At what level do they dispense with the “give me a time when” rehearsed Leadership Principles format, and allow for it to be a conversation between two human beings? Hard to imagine they subject VP level candidates to that?
I just went through Amazon interview loop for L5. One of the craziest experiences I ever had. I was getting about 5 emails from Amazon recruiters every week and I decided to entertain one for Practice🤣. Went through the Phone Screen. Was asked 1 question here - The easiest question I ever had to ...Read more
What was the worst candidate you have ever interviewed and what they do?
Hear a lot about how Google is the center of the tech universe; THE mothership. I decided to interview there. But I was really shocked by the quality of the interviewers there. I enjoyed just one interview out of the 5 scheduled. I must say though that one interview was really good. People doing te...Read more
I walked the HM through my resume and was asked one STAR question. The HM wasn’t rude or rushing, I tried to make interview last longer by asking questions relevant to the role and the HM was engaged. Is this a good sign or bad? UPDATE: Amazon told me they were not moving forward. Gonna just KMS i...Read more
I’ve got contacted by a recruiter to start Citadel SDE interview process, I’m told there will be a phone interview round, then on-site full loop. Anyone interviewed with Citadel before? What questions do they ask? Do they have system design? Behavior questions? Are coding questions just leetcode?
