      Software Engineer - Platform Interview

      15 Nov 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      North Reading, MA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at TraceLink (North Reading, MA)

      Interview

      I applied through school. Round 1- contacted by the Recruiter. Had a phone call with the recruiter, to discuss background and match. Round 2 - After this was contacted for a technical phone screen, for an hour. The interviewer was kind and professional. 3 questions. Pretty easy ones. Had to write unit tests for the code. Round 3 - 2 rounds, One with director of the team, where we discussed my background further. Another round with 5 engineers for 1.5 hours, was given two problems to solve. These guys have free lunch, so was offered lunch after the interview. Received a reject the next day, was they were looking for someone with more practical knowledge. Even though, this was a reject, I enjoyed interviewing with the company, because everyone was kind, and the turn around time for the decisions would be either a day or two. I really appreciate the recruiter here.

      Software Engineer - Platform Interview

      6 Dec 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TraceLink (Boston, MA) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      Applied Online. The process was quick, got an email from recruiter for a quick call. Phone Interview: Recruiter informed me about the process ahead, just basic questions about the projects. Got an email from another recruiter next day who scheduled a technical interview with the director. I didn't expect it was going to be a coding test as it wasn't mentioned in the email. Technical Interview day: I got a call 10 mins post the scheduled time from an engineer of the Platform team. He told me that he has sent me a google doc link on my email and we will be coding. I was no where close to my laptop so took me 5 minutes to reach a laptop and in the meanwhile, I asked questions whether the director was busy as he was scheduled to take my interview. He asked 3 questions. I have mentioned them below. The 2nd question I did using the Hashmap approach and i used map.keySet() to iterate on the keys of the map and the interviewer said he hadn't seen that method before. That was Hilarious. At the end, I asked question about the platform team, but the interviewer was too rude! He answered everything in a single line and looked totally disinterested. The questions were easy and I was sure I got all of them correct. Next Day: Got a reject: Same old email stating we had a very good pool of candidates etc. I wish the recruiters handled the scheduling well and informed me about the coding interview beforehand. Also, coding in google doc is such a pain. I hope they move to actual coding platform like coderpad.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TraceLink (Boston, MA) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      I applied online and was then contacted by a recruiter. Invited for a technical phone interview, and given a Google doc link to write code. The interviewer gave me 3 questions, pretty easy ones. I solved the questions in no time, and the interviewer had no further questions to ask. I never received an email about next steps even after acing the technical interview. Sent an email after 10 days asking for a response, to which I receive a rejection saying we are no longer considering you. Asked for feedback, to which I never got a reply. Disappointed after doing so well in an interview.
