      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Liftoff in Aug 2024

      Interview

      This was what I was informed — Screening round- 1hour technical screening (with coderpad) Final round- 60mins whiteboarding session1 60mins whiteboarding session2 4hour coding challenge (peer programming.) —- Status: Technical assessment - Cleared. Whiteboarding - Appeared ( Rejected). Coding Challenge - Not appeared. —- Pros: 1. Recruitment team was good and cooperative. 2. Interviewers were knowledgeable and asked decent questions. 3. Company seems to be good. Cons: 1. Expectation from Interview process was not clear. For 2 whiteboarding sessions, was asked to write a code either on notepad or IDE of choice and share screen. Got rejected after providing a working code for both sessions with multiple testcases. Was not clear if objective of the interview was algorithm focus or solution driven or to analyze how one can handle abstract problems? 2. All coding focused interviews. No system design/architecture/algorithms focused assessments for senior engineers felt odd.

      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Liftoff

      Interview

      Relatively standard stuff: Recruiter screen, tech screen, tech deep dive, conversation with HM The recruiter was exceedingly hyper and interrupted me numerous times. They asked about my experience with specific tech. I answered honestly. They parroted back the wrong answer and an even more incorrect summary. I clarified _twice_. Their summary didn't change an iota. Received a rejection email the next day without clarification. Adding insult to injury, they then sent a text message at 6 AM the following morning seeking feedback regarding their recruiting process.
