      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      3 May 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Oakland, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Turnitin (Oakland, CA) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      In contrast to my experience with several preceding companies, my interview adventure with Turnitin was quite refreshing! It was a great pleasure dealing with friendliness and professionalism while everything was handled quickly and professionally. Soon after my application, I had an initial screening conversation and, very quickly, an initial phone conversation with my prospective team leader. I was invited to visit the home office in Oakland within a very fews days. They hosted me for three hours during which time I met with two team leaders, two QA engineers, two senior developers and a VP of Engineering. To a person, they were friendly, helpful, answered my questions forthrightly and asked pertinent and innovative questions of me. As I left, I was told I'd be contacted the next day with a decision -- which I was! No keeping me waiting for weeks or sending a simple rejection email. I was very impressed with the recruiting personnel who coordinated the entire process and the engineering individuals I met.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      19 Aug 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Turnitin in Jul 2024

      Interview

      Two rounds of video calls, the first with a manager, the second with two senior engineers. Both were fine, although the second one largely consisted of yes-or-no questions which my resume answers. Unfortunately, like many other reviewers, I was told "you'll hear from us soon", I didn't, and my follow-up email didn't get a response. Ghosting applicants seems to be a pattern with them.
