Hey Blind community Sharing my experience of interviewing at Abnormal Security, Bangalore for SDE-2 role Abnormal Security has setup their first new office in India, they have around 15 employees as if October 2023. 1. Applied on careers page and got email after 2 months from Recruiter. 2. 1st round was home assignment on Codesignal platform, This was some json data parsing problem statement had to pass all the test cases to get shortlisted for next rounds. 3. Recruiter screening call, more of Hiring Manager round questions involving technical aspects of our work experience but taken by non-tech recruiter (found it weird). I had to explain lot of things here to make the recruiter understanding about the technical complexity of the projects. 4. Got shortlisted for next round. 5. Technical round which involved the interviewer sharing a python project Zip file during the interview, which we have to download and install the python packages of that project and then implement the missing functionality/implementation in that. (all this in 45mins + 15min formal introduction) Here the interviewer was dealing with his own low self-esteem so at start of interview he started explaining about how he has lot of Open source contribution and has published research papers etc and how he is among the first employees in India at Abnormal Security. (Felt like he was the candidate interviewing for this role lol) Time waste interviewing here. #software #engineering #swe #interview #india
so what was the missing functionality/implementation in that, would you mind sharing that zip file ;) i have interview with them soon, wanted to take a look
It was really that bad huh??
Hi OP, what was the expectation in the technical round with implementing the missing functionality? Can you share your approach? Also, what are the next rounds after this?
What's the pay expectations like? Do they pay very high?
It's a startup so the pay is highly bloated with ESOPs/paper money
