I am planning to interview within few months for swe role in various tech companies. Want to know recent hiring bar for tech interview. How will you rank hiring bar based on interview experience. After reading some blind posts and talking with some of friends who interviewed recently I made following ranking based on interview difficulties Two Sigma > Drop box > Snap > Airbnb > Netflix > Google > Meta > Doordash > Stripe > Uber > Lyft > Oracle Cloud > Microsoft > Amazon > salesforce What do you think ?
Meta deserves to be higher. Sure you can game it by grinding the top 100 LC, but you stand no chance if you do much less than that since they expect two solved problems per interview.
So you’re saying they don’t expect you to solve all problems? Just two?
How high should it be? given that you just need to grind top 100 lc. I think most experienced folks who are preparing for interview can grind top 100 meta lc and can solve two problem in 45 mins
Salesforce bar is easy?
Uber should be up there with Google and Dropbox and stripe has different kind of difficulty, like they are more focused on engineer skills and practical coding skill. And Netflix is more focused on system design , culture fit, etc. it’s not necessarily hard, just requires the right experiences and they’re just more selective.
Is Salesforce that easy? And Oracle Cloud more difficult than Amazon and Microsoft?
For industry hire I think Microsoft bar is lower than salesforce but greater than Amazon
Palantir interview is pretty hard too
Are Uber and Lyft that easy? I thought they asked LC hard where Meta asks medium
I hear Meta asks easy+med combos now, instead of med+med. Tbh Doordash asked me LC hard for phone screen, they seem harder than Meta & Google
I agree

How big are the balls of Google to lay off thousands and then do 70 BILLION in stock buyback?
Is amazon really easier than Microsoft? First time I hear this.
In my experience, yes.
I think Amazon lowered hiring bar recently
