J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Hopper (Seattle, WA) en janv. 2022
Entretien
Applied through a recruiter. First I had an half hour call with the hiring manager and it went well. He said Hopper has a long sequence of behavioral and technical interviews before they make an offer and such process proved successful. Then I had a technical interview with the hiring manager and a Senior Software Engineer. SSE was basically not supposed to ask any questions but watch it seems. During this, HM asked a few behavioral questions and proceeded to a shared technical challenge on Hackerrank. I thought I did well and I even solved what he called bonus points. TBH it is not easy to get syntax correct while coding on browser and it seems more suitable for Python programmers. Next day I received an email saying they found a slightly better fit for the position.

Question 1
Q: How did you resolve the hackerRanck problem and why?
Ok initial interview with recruiter. seemed friendly enough. engineering manager was not very friendly, didn't ask a lot about background more so wanted to jump to technical question. question was on recursively finding all possible paths from two places given multiple locations.

* Phone screen. I enjoyed talking to the recruiter very much. They clearly elaborated on the open position and shared many details about the teams and the company. Later on, that recruiter did a great job keeping me posted. * Hiring manager round + coding. Mainly we talked about my past experience, achievements, and challenging tasks I worked on. There was a medium LC problem at the end of the round (it was about calculating the stock price) * Another coding interview. I was given an LC-medium problem that I had to solve in 45 minutes. The problem was quite straightforward, but the follow-up questions were quite hard. * System design stage. I was asked to design a part of the Hopper functionality. Unfortunately, I couldn't narrow down the limitations and constraints, so I performed poorly during this stage. However, overall I enjoyed talking to different people at Hopper. Communication was nice and thorough. At the end of the interview process, I had a quick call with the Sr. Engineering Manager, where they provided quite detailed feedback regarding my interview performance and pointed out to the areas requiring improvement.
