I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub (Croton-on-Hudson, NY) in Dec 2021
Interview
Essentially just pushed a "build an data storage API" technical exercise. Spent quite a bit of time, fixed up their code in terms of ensuring all async, added logging, proper DI, added 6 or more tests, met all the criteria.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for GitHub
There were a total of four interview rounds: a recruiter screening, a hiring manager interview, and a loop consisting of system design and coding rounds. The interviews went very well, and after each round, the interviewers seemed highly impressed and mentioned that I would hear back from the recruiter soon. However, I was ultimately rejected because the decision came down to a very close comparison between me and another candidate. Additionally, the recruiter was not very helpful throughout the process, which made the experience more frustrating.
I applied online. I interviewed at GitHub in Feb 2025
Interview
Interviewed for SWII. Was straightforward. Had a talk with a recruiter and asked basic behavior questions then told me on the call that I am being pushed to interview day. I was given what the questions might be, Interview day was 2 technical interviews and one cultural. Technical questions was to build a game of battlefield and the other was the set up some HTTP calls.
Gave OA after passing the interview screening. Recruiter will reach out it was only 1 problem in the OA on hackerrank to solve and recruiter will reach out immediately after that’s been solved
