From your experience, what is the order of difficulty among the following companies for L4 equivalent roles? Google, Facebook, Databricks, Doordash, Instacart, Snap, LinkedIn, Airbnb, Dropbox, Pinterest, Robinhood, Coinbase, Snowflake, Plaid, Stripe, Brex, Square, Amazon, Microsoft Rules 1. Comment only on the companies and their relative difficulty if have actually interviewed with them. 2. No need to include all of the above companies in ordering, subset is valuable too . 3. I will post the topological ordering if enough data is available. There will of course be cycles, but I will take only the popular opinions into the account if cycle gets formed otherwise.
Snap > Airbnb > Google > Microsoft
only 4 companies?
Anything and everything in the universe >> Amazon 🌞
Uhhh, Microsoft?
Google > Fb > Amazon
Google >= Robinhood >Facebook >amazon
Snap>LinkedIn>Microsoft
Snap>Dropbox>Airbnb>Google>Facebook
Snap > Google > Facebook > Stripe > Pinterest > Plaid > Square
Databricks > Stripe > Snap > ... > Amazon > Microsoft Databricks interview process is unnecessarily long with take home assignments, recommendation letters (wtf?), etc. Stripe has debugging section that can be difficult if not accustomed to popular languages. Snap has the hardest leetcode process. Rest are all similar. DoorDash, LinkedIn are also on the easier side. Microsoft is an absolute joke in terms of coding questions. Amazon is just you getting interrogated all day on LP. Rest in middle are honestly all similar depending on interviewer. I found G to be in the easier side but I know G interviewers can vary a lot.
Doordash asks do hard coding questions. I got asked dp hard in LinkedIn onsite.
I guess I'm a bit biased because LC to me isn't that difficult. I got Hards only on LinkedIn but the Hards felt quite trivial. More like long code than code logic for the Hards. Snap is really the only LC to go above and beyond grinding Hards with DPs everywhere. I didn't get DP Hards in either DD or LinkedIn so no comments there. LC in general is my forte although Brex does no LC outside phone. At end of day, really depends on luck. I didn't really get Hard DP in most places.
Google/Snowflake/Stripe > Brex/Plaid > FB/DD/LI/DB/RH/CB(all around same IMO)
Dropbox or Databricks? btw, what level?
Snowflake and Stripe are that difficult? More than FB? At least seems they pay well.
Snap > Airbnb > Google > Microsoft
