Uh oh: President Trump leads Biden 49% to 43% in a two-way race.
I have scheduled an interview with compass. They pushed me in Karat interview round. Any experiences ? Not sure why companies use such 3rd party people to interview for their roles. Interviewing seems to be becoming a business. From companies they will pay 3rd party like karat and from candidates it is like bootcamps like outco/interviewing.io/kickstart. Interview = IIT/CET exam and such companies are like coaching institutes like bansal.
I had a Karat round with Indeed. It was fairly ok. Interviewer was not the pokey types. An easy question with a medium followup. Few quick questions on a topic of your choice (out of the choices interviewer provides). I passed the round.
Hi can you share what topics were offered for initial design/cs fundamentals questions?
It seems like companies define the barrier to Karat. You will probably get easy to medium level that you should definitely finish in like 15 minutes then another comes up medium to hard level. Especially on the second one try to think and code at the same time because they are more looking lines of code progressed rather than designing solution around.
heyy! i have an upcoming interview with palantir by karat! can you please let me know what you were asked?
I did a screen for Compass through Karat and was rejected with no feedback. I got a very vague answer from the Karat interviewer about how the interviews are scores and Compass’ evaluation criteria. Maybe try to find out from recruiter what they are looking for before hand? Also Karat told me Compass allows one redo prior to them sending the interview results over so if you didn’t feel you did well a redo is possible. I did not do the redo. But yeah agreed a whole industry has sprung up around coding interviews it’s kinda ridiculous. Personally if the company can’t spare some of their staffs time it makes me less interested in going through the interview process. Have heard a lot of mixed reviews about Karat but I hope your experience is good and that you pass the interview. Good luck!
thank you.. whole thing is pure BS. but we kinda need to grow and endure this shit. We expect more and more stupid platforms like karat come up every now and then and cause misery to candidates. Such things have to be banned.
