Super Difficult (beyond Leetcode) Databricks (insane shit - implementing stuff in assembly language) Anyscale (this was the hardest so far) Difficult (literally ask LC hard) Google Tiktok Meta (not because it is hard but they ask 2 questions per round so gotta memorize for Meta) ScaleAI Medium (Standard lc rounds) Amazon Robinhood Twitch Apple Netflix Salesforce Stripe Doordash LinkedIn Easy Square Microsoft Many startups I don't mean the hiring bar. What I mean here is the interview difficulty. Based on my subjective experiences.
Assemebly interview would be fun but I am building an apple 1 from scratch so I’ve gotten very familiar with assembly Check out the apple 1 Wozmon source code one of the greatest feats of engineering by a single person imo: https://github.com/jefftranter/6502/blob/master/asm/wozmon/wozmon.s
Don’t out yourself on Blind sheesh
Chill bro
Who cares about the coding interview? that's like the easiest one. Are you so junior you don't have sys design or technical retrospective?
Are you so junior that you fail sys design rounds?
... really disappointing reply
Meta coding interview (for E5) was so laughingly easy lol. Even if it’s 2 exercices per round, they were all easy to easy-medium imo. Not hard to write a perfect solution. Maybe I was just lucky I guess.
What did they end up asking you?
All questions from where meta-tagged on Leetcode, and were not the hard ones.
The Databricks “assembly” interview is just a small toy language. Anyone who says that interview is harder than LC is a leetcode monkey, it’s both interesting and actually tests how well you’re able to pick something novel up on the job. Entirely practical? No, but more so than LC that’s for sure. I didn’t mind it at all.
The Snowflake OA is ridiculously hard
Isn’t implementing stuff in assembly language a college level? When I was in college, the final assignment was demonstrating Donkey kong/snake/Tetris in ARM assembly language with hardware
If you’re a typical backend engineer it’s probably years since you touched assembly
Square is easy?
Same question
Have you interviewed at Jane Street?
How would you even prepare for an ASM interview? By looking thru notes in college?
Did not get a chance to interview Pinterest, Dropbox, Uber, Lyft, Adobe, Palantir Snow, Slack as it was either no positions available or resume rejected
