I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Qualtrics in May 2017
Interview
The Seattle recruiters are extremely incompetent and disrespectful of candidates' time. I have never actually applied to work at this company, but was sought out by recruiters on two occasions. The first time, someone approached me on LinkedIn, scheduled a 30 minute call, and was about 15 minutes late. When they finally dialed in and spoke with me, they said they would follow up to schedule a real interview, and never did. The second time, several months later, they approached me on a different job search platform, scheduled a 30 minute interview, and simply never showed up to the call. Later, they explained that they no longer wanted to talk to me because I had "interviewed" with them too recently. I would highly recommend that anyone approached by this company to not engage, and save yourself precious time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They never even got around to asking any real questions, yet counted the call as an "interview."
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics
Interview
The whole process was remote. I was referred by a friend who works here.
1. Chat with recruiter
2. Chat with hiring manager (behavioral questions)
3. Coding Question on hacker rank
4. System Design question - interviewer didn't turn on camera, said very little throughout the process
The recruiter told me that they had been slow in making a decision, that they will get back to me. They never got back to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time that you made a mistake. How did you handle it?
Started with a Recruiter screen - overview about company
ML Knowledge - basics of LLMs and your relevant projects
LeetCode - two basic easy and med leetcode problems
Takes a long time to hear back after each round - better to reach out after each round to ask about next steps.
First step is recriuter screen. Then 45 min technical with a software engineer, final round is 90 min technical and 30 min behavioral. They will have you schedule them on a web service called goodtime. Interviewer was very friendly.
