I applied through university. I interviewed at ThousandEyes (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Applied through university portal and was contacted by a recruiter. Went through a brief 30-minute phone screen about my technical and career background. Was then sent a questionnaire and coding challenge, was not contacted again after.
I found the question fair but challenging. While I understood the fundamentals, my lack of experience with certain advanced techniques kept me from fully passing. I'll focus on refining these areas to improve my performance in the future. Thank you for the opportunity.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ThousandEyes in Jun 2022
Interview
Initial Leetcode - style Interview followed by on site
On site consisted of another coding round, systems design, and behavioral. I was not in the right headspace and did poorly on the first coding round. They allowed me to schedule one more coding round to "make up" for my first failing (despite passing through the initial coding round). The "make up" round was an extremely vague question with no example inputs/outputs and despite trying to communicate with the interviewer on the question, he told me another requirement of the problem which completely changed how I would have designed the solution 5 minutes before the end of the interview.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Due to the NDA, I will keep it vague.
Leetcode Hard graph problem (Djikstra's but with some tweaks)
A fairly regular software engineer interview process. The first call was with the recruiter. After that, there was a technical round with one of the developers. The response time was also quick.
