      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      6 Jun 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Duo Security (Austin, TX) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      I applied online, and was fortunate to be able to meet the hiring manager, who referred me to their recruiter. She set up a screening call right away and we had a great chat about Duo, the history of the company, the expanding offices and the new team the position was in. Very friendly and engaging. She then set up a technical interview with one of their senior engineers a few days later. The pipeline was great right up until that. The engineer conducting the interview was fifteen minutes late. The technical portion was writing solutions to simple coding challenges easily available online. The questioning was brusque and the interview was rushed and incoherent. Having conducted technical interviews for other companies, I don't understand how this process could test an engineer's skills, especially at senior level. Besides the silliness of the technical portion, the experience was great. My best to Duo and their success, and hope they continue to improve their interview process.

      Thank you for sharing feedback on your candidate experience. We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with your recruiting partner, and we're sorry to hear our technical interview didn't go as hoped. It doesn't sound like it lived up to our expectations either, and we'll review this feedback with our team to make sure we're being consistent in our preparation and technical interview experience.

      Interview

      Conversation with recruiter through Hired.com. Conversation with Hiring Manager. Coding interview with 2 members of the hiring team. Everybody was very nice.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      2 Mar 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Ann Arbor, MI
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Duo Security (Ann Arbor, MI) in Feb 2023

      Interview

      Recruiter was amazing in coordination and keeping the candidate in the loop. They were transparent and provided whatever "excuse" the HM has given them. I had 5 rounds - 1 code review, 1 coding and 1 design, 1 behavioral with engineering leadership and another with Product Manager and Designer followed by 30 minutes of HM wrap up. All the rounds have behavioral question follow ups to your tech answers and everyone pretends to be culturally collaborative. Overall , I did well and HM said great things in the wrap up round. The next day was the day of results and they decided to pass saying that I take initiatives to improve quality which can disrupt their cultural ethos. How on earth can someone provide this lame feedback. Anyways, I moved on and decided not to interview anywhere which had "woke" red flags of fake culture fit

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Game of life - Matrix manipulation (medium) provided optimal solution, a few follow ups 2. Design Exercise case study - API design - provided with a good solution 3. How do you manage a conflict 4. How do you manage a pushback 5. How do you prioritize tasks 6. How do you handle conflicts with your manager 7. A time you took risk and failed 8. How do you manage your personal relationships with a co worker ... etc etc...

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Duo Security (Austin, TX) in Apr 2020

      Interview

      Coding challenges, system design, behavioral questions. It had a good amount of depth without being overly difficult. No trickery, gotchas etc. I got clear feedback from each session. For a large company (Cisco) the process moved quickly.
