BREAKING: Internal sources confirm another round of layoffs just hit emails at Tesla. For real.
Pair programming 1: finished 3 parts, seemed like I got them all right and they all ran but interviewer seemed a bit disinterested Pair programming 2: finished two parts Hm interview: great conversation, really nice person and felt like we jived well Lunch: didn’t feel great about this round. Pair programming 3: interviewer got a lot of slack messages but I got all 3 parts. Didn’t get to the bonus part but he said it was fine System design interview: went over db model and api endpoints and talked about some other decisions we needed to make like db choice and issues we could run into - thought it went well or at least interviewers were super positive and encouraging Past experience: went well and talked about a side project I’m very passionate about. Showed them the website at the end Huge shout out to the square interviewers, they were so friendly it was hard to tell if I did poorly :) Yoe: 2 Tc: 95k
Square interviews are awesome! Did a staff SWE 3 years ago and exactly as you said it, everyone was super super nice I did terrible in the system design, I did not study for it well enough and went hardcore Microservices thinking that I will impress the interviewer with my in-depth knowledge about distributed systems, I was wrong, and I failed that! Few months ago I started interviewing for Square again, this time L7 EM, the interview was way much harder, many many more rounds, but again, everyone was so nice and so awesome, and few days ago I got the offer 🥳 For you it also sound positive, keep us updated and good luck!
Love to hear it, congratulations. 🎉 I gotta agree. If I don’t get an offer, this was still the best interview experience I’ve had with a company to date.
I remember my lunch was good, had a huge burger. But I think due to that I bombed system design interview. Best of luck
Lunch? Is it done virtually or on-site?
No that was my attempt to show my sense of humor in this post
I see, thanks! Were they LC easy/medium questions?
Sounds like you did well, and that you can probably expect an L4 offer. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the process--it's something we pride ourselves on
Update: feedback was good except one round was meh, I found a manager and am moving to hiring bar! Anyone know if I’ll pass for L4 while doing poorly on one of the paired programmings but well on the rest?
I think you're probably fine for L4.
@REvP22 so you applied for L4 and got an offer? How difficult were the technical questions?
All the best. I’m rooting for you!
