There were a total of four interview rounds: a recruiter screening, a hiring manager interview, and a loop consisting of system design and coding rounds. The interviews went very well, and after each round, the interviewers seemed highly impressed and mentioned that I would hear back from the recruiter soon. However, I was ultimately rejected because the decision came down to a very close comparison between me and another candidate. Additionally, the recruiter was not very helpful throughout the process, which made the experience more frustrating.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub (Remote, OR) in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied online after having a referral. First step was a basic HR phone call which explained the role and allowed me to answer any questions. Second step was a take home test. The test wasn't exactly difficult, assuming you know what you the language it's in and how to use their tools.
However, I did not get past the take home test. Though I thought I did well, I assume they are looking for more of an absolute perfect candidate for that position.
The next step would have been a behavioral interview with some of the team and the manager.
Gave OA after passing the interview screening. Recruiter will reach out it was only 1 problem in the OA on hackerrank to solve and recruiter will reach out immediately after that’s been solved
I applied online. I interviewed at GitHub in Feb 2025
Interview
Interviewed for SWII. Was straightforward. Had a talk with a recruiter and asked basic behavior questions then told me on the call that I am being pushed to interview day. I was given what the questions might be, Interview day was 2 technical interviews and one cultural. Technical questions was to build a game of battlefield and the other was the set up some HTTP calls.
