      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      12 Nov 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Plano, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Ooyala (Plano, TX) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      A short introductory call with HR. An online coding test. 3 (easy, moderate, hard) coding problems I finished only first 2 (more like 1.9 I should say). And few general language multiple choice questions. 2 hours I think. Onsite interviews. 3 x 45mins. Including one with hiring manager. All technical. First abt programming, second abt architecture, third abt both. All in all a very pleasant experience. Everyone spoke quite candidly and spent some time selling Ooyala, successfully of course.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Write code to find common items in 2 lists (not sets). In languages of choice. And some other such algorithm questions.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Architectural problem solved in past projects. And general open ended discussion on various architectural topics.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ooyala (Santa Clara, CA) in Sept 2015

      The whole interview process is so professional and been organized very well. The recruiter is very responsive. All interviewers are very nice. When you cannot find the solution of questions, they are very happy to give you some hints. It is very helpful as during the interview, I was little bit nervous and cannot think as normal.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      26 Jan 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ooyala

      Interview

      Applied in LinkedIn and got a response from the recruiter quite quickly. 1st interview was with HR, he asked common questions and salary expectations. 2nd interview was scheduled but nobody called me, so after I contacted recruiter I've got a call from somebody else (not the intended interviewer) and I was told that the interviewer is currently not available so I was asked to reschedule the interview. After rescheduling on another day finally I've got a call from the Project Manager and we had a 10 min chat about technologies and methodologies I used at work, nothing special. 3rd interview was purely technical and lasted 1 hour. I was given 2 tasks to code: first one is a simple task about integer arrays and 2nd one was more difficult one, I had to code a variation of the quicksort. After completing these I was invited to the 4th step. 4th interview was with technical recruiter and same project manager from the step 2. We talked about my current projects, skills and the possible tasks which I would have to perform on this role. Finally I was told that they decided to put on hold that position and 1 month later I was told that they are cancelling that position.

      Sorry the process was less than smooth. Unfortunately headcount plans can change. We will keep in touch should the headcount need open back up
