Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.
Before you could knock out a couple surface level algos and have a chat with the interviewer and call it a day. What’s going on with these follow ups that go from leetcode medium to hard with 10 min left in the interviews? Happens every time now Also seems like a good way to purposely fuck somebod...Read more
How soon you follow up with recruiters once your on-site/tech round is completed? I assume after 1 week it’s ghosted.
Is it true that interviews get better (easier/more chill) when you meet the higher ups? This is for a med size tech company. Expected to meet with C-level management on my last round
Hi, recently laid off from Citigroup. Trying to interview at Startups but some of them have FAANG level interviews. Any startups I can join that are looking for a mediocre SWE with medium difficulty interviews? Edit: I have been LCing for the past 2 months and can do medium questions but not hard. ...Read more
What's the most optimal / practical way to line up interviews? When planning interviews, especially if aiming for specific / preferred companies (let's say X and Y), but also when having other.interviews with (like K and Z) that might be easier to get into, what would be the most effective strategy...Read more

I've been tasked with interviewing some new entry level grads for some positions. I've seen a lot of leetcode problems with part I-IV going from easy to mediums. What are some common favorites in your company for questions that scale as the interview progresses? Yoe:3 TC: 120k
Hey all, I interviewed with a Google PM yesterday (phone interview) and I'm considering sending a "thank you" note. What is the general consensus on those in this process? It would have to be through LinkedIn as I don't have her email.
Just curious if this is common or what; haven’t interviewed outside of FAANG in a while. Scenario: - screen call with HM (30 min chat, 30 min code) - recruiter reached out saying HM feedback was positive, scheduled interview loop. - HM emails: “can you please extend solution to added requirement X”...Read more
It's hard to maintain code quality in Google docs. Does Google runs the code written during interview ? Also how to prepare for follow ups on any coding problem ? For example, on leetcode we usually see single problem let's say trapping rain water. How to prepare for follow ups ? My phone screen up...Read more

Th...Read more
How different are interviews at start ups compared to big tech and what should I focus more on? Leetcode, system design or something else?
Is it like 1 question + followup or two or more separate questions. And how much has the candidate got to answer to make you want to give a hire/weak hire/strong hire recommendation? Assuming 45-60 min interview here.
Recently went through the DoorDash NG loop. In each interview, I received one question and a follow up. I was able to optimally solve both original questions and one follow-up (although I wasn't able to test the follow up, interviewer confirmed logic was correct and that I wouldn't be penalized). I ...Read more
Interviewed at a bunch of places and had good feedback. But got rejected. Same story with few more people i know. Are companies even hiring or just interviewing for other reasons? #Google #meta #apple #amazon and other start ups
I keep seeing on the news that 80% of SWE jobs are unfilled, companies are desperate, etc. etc. However, based on all the posts here about rejections and the fact that even the most meager of start-ups and non-tech companies have a process with 5 interviews and leetcode, I think that the SWE shortag...Read more

Only 3 months ago I was begging companies to look at my resume and get me an interview. I was at Intel. It has not been a month since I joined Meta and somehow now Google and other start ups are VERY IMPRESSED with my PM experience and want to talk to me. As good as it feels, I am not that differen...Read more
Mostly writing this as a rant post but also to shed some light on the market right now. I’m currently an SDE 2 at Amazon and have been here for about 15 months and am desperately looking to leave the company. My team is awful, my manager is constantly berating the team, I work ~60 hours a week. I’ve...Read more
