      Software Developer Interview

      26 Feb 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at O'Reilly Media

      Interview

      After applying, I received an email with instructions on how to take the coding assessment. I received the assessment, followed the instructions, and submitted the assessment before it was due. The email stated they would follow-up within a week after reviewing my assessment. After a week, I emailed with a follow-up asking if they had received my assessment. No response. It's been another week and I think I'm going to pull my application. If they can't respond to candidates, how do they respond to staff? Also, any lack of response is extremely rude. I spent hours coding outside of my full-time job to exceed the assessment's expectations. A simple, "We received your assessment and decided not to move forward" isn't that hard. Be better.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Coding assessment designed to test React skills. Very basic.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Sebastopol, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at O'Reilly Media (Sebastopol, CA) in Oct 2021

      Interview

      The interview process went like this- 1. Initial phone screen. 2. Technical challenge. 3. Two hour interview - 1 hour technical/1 hour cultural Over all, I enjoyed the interview process. The technical challenge was straightforward, with just the right amount of challenge. The two hour interview was actually very pleasant, these are some of the nicest people I have ever interviewed with. I never once felt like I was getting grilled. It was really refreshing.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What was a hard technical challenge you solved?

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at O'Reilly Media

      Interview

      1) Call with engineering manager. This was a super nice guy and we have productive, casual conversation about my role and software I use at my current job. 2) Take home assignment. This was entirely fair and do-able while maintaining my current job. 3) Virtual onsite Everybody was so kind and approachable. Contrast this with another interview I had later that week (with a big tech company). Over there I met with a load of asocial aliens.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      We talked about design and implementation of the take home project.
