      Interview

      Thank you for taking the time to give feedback on your interview process. We appreciate your insights and understand that the added constraints in both the coding and project deep dive interviews made the experience more challenging. Your comments help us reflect on how we structure problems and guide discussions to ensure they’re both rigorous and fair. Thanks again for helping us improve the candidate experience.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Illumio (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      1st round - Take home online assessment. The company took more than a month to get back with the result. The eventual result was to proceed to next round. 2nd round - Technical Screen with Senior Staff Engineer from a different team. I was informed that this round would go over the take-home assignment. On the contrary, this round involved generic verbal computer science and my background-related questions. The interviewer was very rude and disrespectful. 1. He never introduced himself. 2. Dissed me whenever I asked him clarifying questions or asked him to repeat. He said, "I already said that, did you not hear?". The questions he asked were verbal and not written. He was non native English speaker and it was hard to comprehend. Also, he made some other unnecessary personal remark about my comprehension skills. 3. Questioned why I was looking away from the screen, twice. I clarified that I was using an external monitor for display and was trying to look into the webcam to maintain eye contact. I offered to disconnect it. Funny enough, he too was looking at multiple screens and sipping his coffee.

I sincerely apologize for the discomfort and frustration you experienced during the process, and I truly appreciate your candidness.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Illumio in Sept 2024

      Interview

      Extremely rude interviewer. Joined the zoom call 30 minutes late and decided to finish the interview 10 minutes before time. He was constantly distracted and kept changing his meeting rooms. Was busy wrapping up his work while I was answering questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were a lot of interruptions in my interview. He briefly asked me what the difference between SQL and NoSQL is. He followed it up by asking the difference between DocumentDB and NoSQL.
