I recently went through a virtual on-site at Instacart for D1 position. I think, I did really well with Leadership, Bar Raiser and System design rounds. Coding round was a bit rusty, my solution worked for 5 out of 7 test cases. I was told that they weren’t looking for “perfect coding” for leadership role. Bar raiser round was super awkward as the interviewer VP — seemed like a nice person— had to step out for a new car delivery two times during the interview. Unfortunately, I don’t get to code on daily basis anymore as I have been in people management for almost a decade now. I have started Leetcoding now after Instacart :) I have coinbase and stripe SDM interviews lined up. I have AWS L7 offer but planing to pass on it. Is it normal to get hands on coding round at Stripe, Coinbase & Google for leadership roles? YOE: 19 years ( 10 years IC, 5 yrs SDM, 4 yrs Managers’ manager) TC: $687K
Recently interviewed at Coinbase, they don't have coding rounds for manager. However the interview left a sour taste in my mouth. The system design interviewer didn't even know difference b/w latency and throughput and behavior interview asked open ended question such as "what is technical debt" or saying that they have a checklist of questions that they need to go through.
That’s interesting . Thanks! Did you end up getting on an offer?
Yes
Just out of curiosity, with a ten year hiatus in hands on coding, what language are you choosing for a coding round?
I go with Java. But I can code in Python & PHP pretty ok.
What's your title at Intuit?
Group Manager!
Is that higher than director? In Google I think there is a technical round for sure. They also ask behavioral questions and a lot of trek me about a time sort of thing
Can I DM you on experience for the L7 process for Amazon?
Sure!
Thanks. Sent you a message.
I did full round of Coinbase if yuo're interested. Pass the technical system DM me if you need
Thank you 🙏 I did go through all the rounds but they put my offer on hold in May :)
New, Are they still hiring at Coinbase? Intuit, did you interview at Google Already?
