      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      25 Apr 2016
      Anonymous employee
      South San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Veracyte (South San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      First they took telephonic interview to check basic java skills & then requested in person interview. Both interview was pretty much easy. They asked some basic question regarding database as well.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      12 Jun 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Veracyte

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of: 1 introductory chat with Hiring Manager and recruiter 2 coding rounds (DSA, algorithms; Amazon-level difficulty) 2 behavioral rounds (largely leadership principles, very Amazon-style) 1 system design round (not at true large-scale, but expecting detailed solutions) Most interviewers were direct, but some came across as rude and dismissive. The interviewers are mostly ex-Amazon employees, and the process closely mirrors Amazon’s standards. Be prepared for tough questions regardless. If you're a current or ex-Amazonian, you'll likely get calls for interviews. Otherwise, it's quite hard to even get considered — the process seems biased toward Amazon candidates. Company Policies & Benefits: The benefits are not as competitive as the rest of the industry. They offer 6 weeks of maternity leave for birth mothers, which is quite limited compared to other tech companies. Visa sponsorship is not offered upfront; they only consider it after your first year based on performance and business needs. Overall Experience: The process felt unnecessarily tough for a company of their scale, with an over-reliance on Amazon-style evaluation. Culture and benefits also seem less attractive compared to bigger or more established companies.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      16 Nov 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Veracyte

      Interview

      Incompetent - they scheduled an interview and failed to call. Fifteen minutes into the interview time a recruiter got back saying they decided not to do the interview after I had spent time reviewing, preparing and waiting for their call. They indicated that my latest experience wasn't what they were looking for after approving my resume for the interview and many years of the specific experience they were seeking.
