      Software Engineer Interview

      28 Aug 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      I was contacted by the recruiter to set up an interview . The tech phone screen was a nice question - checking algos and data stucture, something about a matrix. The interviewer was absolutely great and we had a good discussion at the end and he answered all my questions. I was immediately contacted for setting up an onsite interview. I was sent an email saying you will have a two hour coding interview, but was given no other information about the schedule, who I would be interviewing with and what is expected from the interviews. You are going in completely blind and that was not something I was comfortable with. Also the lunch interview was scheduled with two people and it was really awkward. I understand that a lunch interview is just a conversation and culture fit test but sometimes the two interviewers would start talking to each other and you wouldn't fit into the conversation at all. It was really weird. Also got a couple of one word answers. And then after two more interviews, I was asked to leave. Which is fine since I did not do great in the last round. The last round only focussed on infrastructure questions, even though I had made it clear that that's not something we work on everyday. So be prepared to dissect your entire infrastructure pipeline when you go here. They are very gentle and polite when they ask you to leave, so its similar to receiving a rejection by email, so that is very considerate of them.
