Hey all, I have an upcoming Carta onsite for senior swe in the near future. Any pointers for onsite? I'd like to do well and avoid any pitfalls. I'd appreciate any insight from Carta folks or anyone who recently interviewed there.

Is the system design round similar as design url shortner or design Twitter? What would the project round consists of? Adding more features?

How is the morale after covid layoffs last year? Hopefully no more layoffs in the horizon?

Thank you much 🙏

    Definitely no more layoffs, we are hiring like crazy. Maybe that's the reason engineers looked "depressed" - they just got tired of non-stop interviews

      2-3 a week. Spend at least half an hour (but have to multi task so ends up taking longer) reviewing the take home. Then the take home discussion, then the score card, and then the debrief. It's a pretty big commitment.

    What is with their home assignment? I spent so much time and still got rejected

    Talk through architecture draw some pictures that represent data stores backend ui mocks. How would you build blind is probably a good example of what we might ask. YouTube some system design interview examples and you should have a good blueprint. Be humble kind and honest.

    I did an on-site with them a few months ago. Can’t remember much tbh. I remember one of the sessions was going over the take home submission with an engineer. Another was system design. Their engineers seemed depressed in the interview. They had 2 behavioural interviews that I decided to be candid in and I think that sealed it for me. No offer but I didn’t care.

      Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully the panel interviewing me would be excited about working there (even if they fake it) :)

      People shouldn't be interviewing candidates if they are not having a good day or are tired. I think it really gives a wrong impression. So far I've read positive things in Blind about Carta. Hopefully that comes off during the interview 🤞

      @Salesforce I spent about 1.5-2hr on it. It’s not a leetcode, just some problem with parsing a file.
