J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Marqeta (Oakland, CA) en avr. 2019
Entretien
A recruiter connected with me regarding the opportunity and set up a technical coding challenge. Coding challenge was pretty standard. Once I was able to complete the code the interviewer asked few basic core java ( overloading/overriding/String immutability) questions.I was asked to come onsite for a 4 hour interview with 5 panelist.
First three interviewers were pretty comfortable to talk to, they asked about my background, gave some whiteboard problems to solve. Last two interviewers were bit cold.
Got a call from the recruiter saying they want to call me onsite again as they were not able to judge my technical skills . I was bit surprised as such senior level engineers after grilling me for 4 hours not able to judge my skills. I went for the second site interview.This time it was for 5 hours with 6 panelist. The interviewers are mostly junior employees freshly out of college.
The interview went pretty well and I was positive about the feedback. After one week the recruiter set some time up to talk where he mentioned that they are not going forward.
The reason that he gave was I am not par with technical answers.
I don't really agree with this feedback as I was able to solve all the white board technical questions (there was no other technical questions).
I think they should have not wasted my time with the second onsite interview. It is frustrating for a interviewee too.

The interview process was well structured. Each and every step was outlined perfectly in the introduction and everything followed a definite timeline. I really appreciate the clarity and the standards they set during the initial stages of the interview.

Entretien
Recruiter call, followed by a screen share coding round and a Hiring manager interview.( interviewers were really friendly and giving the pointers on the approach ).
Recruiter reached out to schedule 3 more rounds ( 2 behavioural 45 mins each ) and a system design ( screen share - Lucid chart ).
Overall process took 2.5 weeks and the recruiter gives immediate feedback after each round ( without wasting much time). It was a very smooth process.

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Marqeta en juin 2024
Entretien
I had a job interview with Marqeta, and after talking to the recruiter, I was invited to the next stage, which was an online coding test. I was asked to design an LRU cache, which I did completely and tested as well.
The next day, I received a rejection letter with reasons that were not convincing at all. I felt that the decisions were very subjective and not based on clear principles and rules.
I feel like I wasted my energy and time.
