The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X in Dec 2011
Interview
I was contacted by an internal recruiter and agreed to interview. A phone interview was set up by another person, where all of my personal information was incorrect, so I had to confirm my details. This was a Skype interview. After I passed the first round, another phone interview round was scheduled, where again, my personal information was incorrect, so I had to confirm again. This round was also supposed to be over Skype, but the interviewer called me on the phone instead. Both rounds had fairly easy questions with collaborative coding on the web. I knew I didn't make it after the second round, but haven't heard back from the recruiter after that.
Overall, the interviews themselves were fair, but the organization was just absolutely terrible.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Create an iterative version of a recursive algorithm that uses as little extra space as possible.
Phone screen, followed by two coding rounds, one system design, and one HM/behavioral round. Prepare with LeetCode tagged questions related to data structures, algorithms, and system design topics. Prepare for Behavioural in STAR method.
Went through two screenings and virtual onsite. Technical team members were friendly and great to speak with. Recruiters were pretty awful - the one that set up the virtual onsite gave everybody different zoom links and trying to find the correct room to join really cut into my interview time and made me stressed out during the VO. Main recruiter scheduled a phone call to discuss results after the VO for when it was past midnight in my timezone but never called or responded to my followup.
To the recruiter: you don't need to try to keep me warm by scheduling a phone call and ghosting me when I only asked you whats the decision timeline. If its rejection just email to let me know instead of wasting more of my time especially when its late in my timezone.
In general this would've been a positive experience if the recruiters weren't so bad.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (London, England) in Apr 2025
Interview
Ho effettuato un colloquio conoscitivo con HR dopodiché una sessione di live coding e domande tecniche con il responsabile dell'area. Domande vertevano su vari algoritmi e complessità in termini di tempo e spazio
