      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tumblr (Ban Phone Savang) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      Gave my resume to a college recruiter, and then received an email from a hiring manager about a week later. I had two phone interviews. One with the manager of the team- this part consisted of more general computer science concepts and knowledge, sprinkled with some more specific topics and solving technical problems conceptually. The second interview was with an engineer on the team, we used coderpad and did 2 coding questions. All in all very cool interviews! They’re super kind and want to work with you.

      Answer question

      Two coding questions- just make sure to consider test cases and talk out your logic

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tumblr (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      It took so long to get a call for the final interview and once I went into the room the interviewer asked me a lot of behavioral questions. Around 25% of the questions were technical and based on data structures rest all of them were boring.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Asked technical questions on hash tables, and big data technologies.
