      Applications Engineer Interview Interview

      11 Nov 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at GitHub (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      One month elapsed between each of these steps: applying, receiving and submitting a written technical questionnaire, my first interview, and my final interview. The delays and failure to respond in between each step was pretty frustrating. They asked me to be patient, as they are really busy. When they finally came around, my interviews went wonderfully, and I was surprised not to have received an offer. They gave no specific reason, except that they had many qualified candidates and limited positions.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Re-implement a (specific) feature of git in a language of your choice.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      When communicating using text, how do you avoid ambiguities and miscommunication with the lack of in-person social cues?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Extend a (contrived) rails application with a new feature. Identify and resolve potential performance issues.
      Answer question
