      Software Engineer Interview

      13 Feb 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at X (New York, NY) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      Most dis-organized interview process. I applied to position located at NY. I did not want to work at any other location. At NY they work mainly on Geo platform. 1) Recruiter replied through linkedin and then spoke on phone 2) A phone interview was conducted. which was to apply map-reduce concept to solve a big-data problem. 2-days later they said I cleared that and they want 2nd phone interview 3) 2nd phone interview was arranged 10 days after the first. Hiring manager was supposed to call but he did not call. So they arranged the interview 10 days after that date. The hiring manager called on time 2nd time. He asked some basic coding questions related to arrays and also questions about work and about twitter 3) 2 days after the 2nd phone interview they said they want 3rd phone interview. I said yes. They arranged the 3rd phone interview after a week. 3 days before the 3rd phone interview I got an offer from a company and both work and pay is good and I liked the team mates. I lost motivation for the 3 rd phone interview. 4) 3rd phone interview was about printing matrix diagnolly. It was not tough but I did not have motivation and took more time than required. The process takes lot of time. If your dream company is twitter and you don't have problem waiting for the process which can take more than 2 months then you can attend. Otherwise they drain you with multiple rounds of interviews and also they miss the interviews and they reschedule multiple times. I liked twitter but I got an equivalent offer both in terms of work and offer from a hot startup at NY.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at X

      Interview

      Went through two screenings and virtual onsite. Technical team members were friendly and great to speak with. Recruiters were pretty awful - the one that set up the virtual onsite gave everybody different zoom links and trying to find the correct room to join really cut into my interview time and made me stressed out during the VO. Main recruiter scheduled a phone call to discuss results after the VO for when it was past midnight in my timezone but never called or responded to my followup. To the recruiter: you don't need to try to keep me warm by scheduling a phone call and ghosting me when I only asked you whats the decision timeline. If its rejection just email to let me know instead of wasting more of my time especially when its late in my timezone. In general this would've been a positive experience if the recruiters weren't so bad.
