Roblox karat interview

Mar 7, 2021 21 Comments

Recently gave karat interview for roblox. What a waste of time. The interviewer wasted 10 minutes to ask question about my background, clearly it was just to warm me up. For coding, it was so robotic, I might as well just give some online coding test without this namesake robot staring at me.

I managed to finish 1st part, and coded up 2nd part but didnโ€™t get time to run it. The robot said you can continue to work on it but wonโ€™t count towards the result. Wtf?? Why would I continue??? What did that even mean?

    Most of the things you mentioned can be interpreted as that, I agree. But why so salty? clearly the company you interviewed for decided to outsource a very important part of their hiring process

      Why do you feel itโ€™s better quality? What did you like about the interview? I felt the interviewers try to fake it that they are listening to what you did in the past or are understanding the design or complexity of your project, but itโ€™s evident that they are just checking off some scripts and want to just move on to the coding part to judge you based on the # of questions you solve in fixed amount of time. The only way they are better is they have well formatted question and are better prepared for interviews that some real engineer on the team who is taking time out of their busy schedule and ask coding questions. I feel the people on the team will care a lot more about what you worked on and how it could help their team, and take more holistic view in judging candidates. Karat was a big let down

      The keyword is some. Some interviewers in some big companies have strong biases, they are looking for something specific that benefit their interests or simply they just interview people because they have to. There has been a couple of times where interviewers have a very strong accent and it was really difficult for me to figure out what they were asking or plainly they just prefer people that they share something with. I feel at least karat they are in the business of interviewing, and since for the interviewers they donโ€™t have a vested interest of you moving forward or being rejected (they are being paid anyhow) it is less likely for them to biases to be strong.

    Same exact experience for me. Itโ€™s a waste of time.
    Apparently, thereโ€™s a retake option, but some how they sent the result straight to Roblox and I got auto reject the next day.
