      Infrastructure Software Engineer Interview

      28 Jun 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cambridge, MA
      No offer
      Neutral experience

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X (Cambridge, MA) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      Lead-up: 1. Contacted by recruiter 2. Recruiter sent me a code assignment to complete 3. Interview scheduled Interview: 1. Questions about previous jobs 2. Lunch with team members 3. Code assignment review 4. Stone Tablet interview. By "Stone Tablet", I mean whiteboard. The whiteboard interview was disappointing, as they tend to be. One of the interviewers was a bit rude and lightly patronizing. A couple of the coding questions had tricks to solve them that were not representative to realistic problem solving in engineering jobs - especially infra/web engineering. For these reasons, it's hard for me to believe whiteboard interviews like the one I received can yield reliable signals. How hard is it to pull up a text editor and pair on something? Lunch and the first two interviews were very pleasant. Twitter did not ask me for feedback on the interview experience. Hear no evil.
