I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LaunchDarkly (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Take home coding sample involves a pretty straight forward problem; given a SSE stream of scores where a score contains an exam id, student id, and score, aggregate all these values and make four endpoints available:
- /exams (list the set of exam ids)
- /students (list the set of student ids)
- /student/$id (list all exams that student has taken and their average across exams)
- /exams/$id (list all students have have taken the exam and the average exam score)
LaunchDarkly makes the shell of the repo available via github and the interviewer populates the repo with the code and tests.

Had 2 technical screens before panel. Everything was great until the hiring manager interview for the AI team. Hiring manager was very checked out of the interview. She didn't have many questions to ask and she even yawned 3 times, yes I counted, during the interview . To top it off after the interviews, the recruiter ghosted me.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LaunchDarkly
Interview
Everyone was quick to respond and they shared the interview process up front so I knew what to expect. I had time during the interviews to get to know the members of the engineering team and they helped me feel comfortable in each interview.

Question 1
I had to perform a live coding exercise that was geared toward the type of problems I would need to solve in the role I was interviewing for.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at LaunchDarkly in Jan 2024
Interview
After applying, I connected with a hiring manager who expressed interest in my background and advanced me to the Take Home exercise. Despite dedicating the entire weekend to the project and submitting it promptly, I received no response. Despite multiple attempts to reach out, they never replied. It's disheartening; a simple acknowledgment would be appreciated. Would not recommend interviewing for this company.

Question 1
Take home exam consisted of an SSE stream where you create a RESTful API exam and student data.
