      Technical Writer Interview

      Feb 21, 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at GitHub

      Interview

      Typical back and forth with an HR contact interspersed with some team and hiring manager interviews. Overall a very positive experience. Everyone I spoke to was very warm and welcoming. Only complaint would be how slow the process was. It took about 4 months from start to finish, sometimes with no updates or communication for weeks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A writing assignment and discussions about your writing process.

      Technical Writer Interview

      Oct 27, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dallas, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GitHub (Dallas, TX)

      Interview

      HR sent a "take home test" via email using Google docs. I did my best to respond to the writing test. However, I write about software. How are cooking-related questions relevant to software documentation? I don't cook. This seems gender-biased. I never spoke to an actual human.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you make breakfast for a group vs. 1-2 people? How do you stock your kitchen with basic supplies? Provide a recipe to make a breakfast for a group of people.
