The interview process at InfluxData is unlike most software companies. While the technical interviews do involve writing code, the questions are not the typical "whiteboard" style algorithmic questions. The questions are relevant to the job you will be doing!
I had 6 interviews with InfluxData before receiving an offer. All the interviews were over Zoom.
1. Interview with hiring manager: high level introductory interview
2. Technical Interview 1: Coding
3. Technical Interview 2: API design
4. Technical Interview 3: Coding
5. HR Interview: HR-like questions
6. Interview with VP: HR-like questions
Overall I actually enjoyed the interview process! Every individual I spoke to was kind and the interviews were fair. If I got stuck, the interviewer gladly offered help. My recruiter, Lefan Chi, did an excellent job scheduling the interviews around my work schedule.
When I was presented with an offer, Lefan called me to talk about the positive feedback I had received and to answer any questions I had about the company. I also had a conversation with the hiring manager about the offer. I was provided ample time to consider the offer.
Overall I enjoyed my interview experience. I think it gave me an accurate picture of the job I would be doing, the people I would be working with, and the process was smooth!
