I haven’t heard anything (positive or negative) after a week and they implied during the interview it would be a quick process. How long does it usually take and what does the internal process for making those decisions look like? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
Sorry, I came here only to comment that you have a cool name - salty Pepsi 😂
For FB, I heard back within a week, and even got updates from my recruiter, like "it passed initial conversation and it's now scheduled for debrief" etc.
You dint pursue the opportunity ? How was your interview ?
I ended up going with Google. Very similar offers, but I think this was the right decision in terms of work and environment. Interview was great, pretty much exactly as I expected it to be structured. Two coding interviews, two design interviews, one behavioral. In the first coding interview there were two questions, and I felt I had ample time to finish them at a casual pace, dotting/crossing the i's/t's. In the second coding interview, the "second coding question" was a more difficult variation on the first question. I was a bit fried by then since it was the last interview, so I didn't end up having a working solution (or any solution beyond hopefully showing the interviewer I understood the type of approach, but was somewhat brain-fried). With the exception of the second half of that coding interview, it was overall very smooth sailing.
How was your interview ?
I had thought it went mostly well, but I guess not :)
Same thing happened to me (~1week) Unfortunately I did not clear the rounds.
That sucks. How were the interviews? Leetcode-y?
Yup Mediums and Hard . But I guess I screwed up on system design(it was weird overall with a non responsive interviewer )
After videos, later that day. After on-site, next business day.
Hmm that’s how they made it sound like it would be conducted.
That's not norm. Lot of interviewers take a day just to submit feedback. And even 2-3 days is not unheard of. Add to that, if there are conflicts in feedback, resolving them and coming to a decision takes discussion, which can easily take a day or two. So anyone committing to give you the result next business day is making you a promise they cannot keep.
What role was it for and what stage did you interview?
It could be one of two things. When certain people on a loop give a thumbs down, they may not enter feedback until they are forced to. Usually they will have conveyed that to the recruiter so they can reject you quickly. The only way I see a delay being a reject is if multiple interviewers drag their feet and recruiting doesn't communicate and it's a borderline case. The other possibility is that they are preparing a packet for review and will tell you soon.
Keep expectations low, move on.
