J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez LaunchDarkly (Oakland, CA) en janv. 2022
Entretien
- Employee Referral
- Recruiter Screen
- Engineering Manager Chat
- Coding Challenge (I spent about 10 hr but I was prob more nitpicky than I needed to be)
- Onsite (3.75 hr total, 4 interviews + 1 wrap-up)
- Offer
- Placement into teams is pretty flexible and you can move around / try out teams after joining
Honestly, I had a great experience with LD, and LD moves really fast! Apart from waiting for the initial recruiter screen which took maybe 2 weeks, everything else had a 1 business day turnaround.
They were willing to schedule the onsite the day after my coding challenge submission in order to meet an offer deadline I had for another company, which was super nice and flexible of them and their engineers!
I really liked the coding challenge, I thought it was reasonable to expect BE engineers to know how to build microservices with minimal guidance and I learned a good deal from it. I spent 10 hours because I picked a language and framework I didn't use for work (Python) so I probably could have spent less time if I used a framework I knew.
Onsite:
- 45 min review your microservice and extend it
- 30 min culture and values
- 45 min system design
- 45 min problem solving (algorithmic problem)
- 30 min manager wrap-up
LD is very profitable and has happy engineers and a great engineering culture (described in their values page) that I personally vibed with - I would have chosen them if not for a competing offer where I really liked the team match in the other company.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Coding challenge: build a REST microservice that consumes SSE using any language / framework. No need to use a DB framework (think they updated the spec so it could be completed faster).
Onsite:
- 45 min review your microservice and extend it
- 30 min culture and values
- 45 min system design
- 45 min problem solving (algorithmic problem)
- 30 min manager wrap-up
Recruiter screen, HM screen, round of two coding interviews, round of two systems design interviews, HM wrap-up. Whole process took 2-3 weeks to offer. Tight scheduling and good recruiting process overall.
The job post says it's remote, but the position is actually hybrid. The salary range listed on the job post is also a bit more broad than I would've liked.
