      Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 29, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Vancouver, BC
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Slack (Vancouver, BC) in Sep 2021

      Interview

      Overall OK process, albeit pretty time consuming. Probably took about a month and a half in total though to go through all the stages, and I initially applied 5 months ago. No trick questions, brain teasers, or white-board style questions; questions were fairly representative of every day work. Chat with Recruiter. Talk to Team Manager about past experiences. Mock PR review of a "Junior Engineer"'s work. Half-day virtual "on-site" with 4 rounds. Team manager and team members were pleasant to speak with. The recruiter on the other hand were another story. They use a third-party recruiting company and it was fairly difficult to get ahold of the recruiter I was assigned to. They went on leave a few times and I was not aware of it on some occasions. After I got my on-site confirmed, the recruiter was supposed to give me some more information about the format and what I should do to prepare. My main recruiter did not reach out, I reached out on multiple occasions and got no responses back, so I went in blind. Turns out the person covering for my recruiter was supposed to tell me to have a development environment set up in advance, I didn't know this so during my on-site, I scrambled and probably appeared very unprepared. Despite all the time spent, I did not hear back about my rejection until I emailed them to ask.

Code review exercise will test your ability to review a PR regarding how you detect code smells, bad practice, but it’s also behavioral since you need to know how to communicate suggestions and changes . Design and coding process will gauge your problem solving approach but not needed to completely solve
