[winged kelp]

@worthy spear about two weeks ago

[bold gull]

@inner bolt I just applied at like 11:30 pm so I think it's gone now. Thought the app said early apps are due before Aug 3rd

[steel drum]

@tender dune yeah, I guess citadel sends is automatically to all

OA*

[inner bolt]

The Databricks link is working again, just a heads up to anyone who wants to apply within the next 40ish minutes before the deadline.

[drowsy cloak]

As a non-us new grad candidate can i apply US based position at PayPal or Facebook? I don't have any work authorization or visa.

[winged kelp]

Probably?

[random knot]

don't think going to the us in the near future is a very good idea

[drowsy cloak]

@random knot I don't have plan like that for many reasons. I'm just not aware of the procedure. Like giving interview and getting job in European countries, Singapore, Japan and other Asian countries is easy procedure. Is that same for US or i have to go through GRE/IELTS type exam and many more complicated things.

As there are only few new grad application and most of them are US based that's why just thinking is it better to wait for other location to open up new position or apply those currently open positions.

[worthy spear]

what score do you need to pass databricks OA?

[worthy spear]

Damn i just got rejected by Jane street even though i thought my interview went flawlessly. I guess they have quite a high hiring bar

[sage grotto]

Has anyone given OA for IMC?

[high thunder]

Rip @worthy spear

[lilac geode]

Has anyone filled out the VMWare question form thing they send after applying

Does choosing July or august make a difference between chances of getting in?

[frosty forum]

@lilac geode I have. Probably not.

[worthy spear]

i did databricks OA and it's 2 easy, 1 med, 1 hard

[lilac geode]

Just got a “your application is still under consideration” from GS. What’s the point of sending that email

[carmine adder]

At least you got something

I’m in the dark

[worthy spear]

@worthy spear how much time do u get

70 mins

[tired bay]

For 4 problems?

[worthy spear]

yes

[pliant steppe]

@worthy spear how did the scoring work in your case

[worthy spear]

775/850

last one was pretty tricky and brute force solution isn't really accepted fully

[sage grotto]

isn't 70 mins less?

I am getting nervous now

[worthy spear]

wdym less

[sage grotto]

70 mins for 4 problems

[worthy spear]

it's enough if you're prepared

[sage grotto]

hmmm

[worthy spear]

it took me 25 mins for first 3, and 20 mins for brute force in 4th

[sage grotto]

does anyone has idea for IMC OA?

[tired bay]

Dev or Quant?

[sage grotto]

Dev

[tired bay]

It’s one question not really leetcode but wasn’t that bad I would say easier medium is what I got

[sage grotto]

Is your screen being recorded when taking the OA @tired bay

[tired bay]

Don’t think so was never asked permission about any of that anyways

[urban hemlock]

Yeah I finished the first 3 on Databricks OA in 11 mins. Then even after an hour I couldn't get the hard last one😂

[astral garnet]

Yeah you just gotta get lucky my q4 was super easy

[patent trail]

@high thunder What were you asked in your HRT phone screen?

[stuck turtle]

Any open house events this week?

[snow kayak]

DreamWorks had a recruiter event this afternoon, Microsoft has an event tomorrow I think through Remote Students or Intern.Club @stuck turtle

[opal valley]

Wow you are on top of it

[snow kayak]

Gotta get those interviews

[stuck turtle]

Woahh, could you share the links here?

[snow kayak]

I shared the dreamworks events earlier last month, but I’ll see if I can find the Microsoft event.
Edit: it’s through intern.club so join the slack! https://intern.club/#/

[worthy spear]

how well do you need to do on bloomberg phone interview to get passed to the final round?

[stuck turtle]

I shared the dreamworks events earlier last month, but I’ll see if I can find the Microsoft event.
Edit: it’s through intern.club so join the slack! https://intern.club/#/
@snow kayak oh is it a intern event?

how well do you need to do on bloomberg phone interview to get passed to the final round?
@worthy spear did bloomberg 2021 new grad open up?

[snow kayak]

It’s an event open to students, but it’s through the intern club. Don’t think you need to be an intern to join though. @stuck turtle

[stuck turtle]

oh, i meant is that event only for people interested in internships or is it for full time too?

[cerulean pivot]

make sure yall apply to robinhood now

i just got oa invite in like a hour

[high thunder]

Just applied

[cerulean pivot]

i sent in a 782

[orchid ibex]

How was the test @cerulean pivot

[opal valley]

Thanks @snow kayak !

[cerulean pivot]

i did it a year ago

u can reuse ur score

is actually a really nice alternative to using hackerrank

this is a universal score if the company uses codesignal

[winged kelp]

@cerulean pivot which position did you apply to for robinhood

[cerulean pivot]

web data backend

[winged kelp]

is this for intern or?

[cerulean pivot]

[cerulean pivot]

https://careers.robinhood.com/openings

@high thunder make a pr

[winged kelp]

I see thanks ❤️

[high thunder]

I’m nit sure I applied new grad

I applied backend engineer

[snow kayak]

@stuck turtle it’s just an event to learn how to nail your interview and get hired at Microsoft, so it’s not intern specific

[opal valley]

yeah i applied to backend and web

[stuck turtle]

@stuck turtle it’s just an event to learn how to nail your interview and get hired at Microsoft, so it’s not intern specific
@snow kayak oh awesome thanks!

[worthy spear]

Has anyone heard back from optivwr yet?

[sage grotto]

No

when did you apply?

[lucid marlin]

Just heard back with OA

[lilac geode]

Just got a response from SAP saying they’ll send out OAs starting aug 31

[tranquil pebble]

Just heard back with OA
@lucid marlin When did you apply?

[worthy spear]

Just heard back with OA
@lucid marlin you heard back from optivers OA?

@sage grotto I finished the OA not two days ago but the Saturday before

[lucid marlin]

I meant that I just got the oa, I applied two days ago

[buoyant grove]

when uber new grad roles open?

[lilac geode]

Some company that I didn’t even apply to just sent me an email rejecting me I am so confused😂

Oh nvm it’s for a summer 2020 internship that I applied to last fall...

[deft canopy]

Is fb open for new grads?

For 2021

[old kestrel]

They might not open @buoyant grove

[cerulean pivot]

uber's still waiting to hear back about headcount for next year before they extend return offers to current interns

[high thunder]

F

[tired bay]

Yeah same with Lockheed

[heavy hare]

Hello Everyone! Is it too late to apply for fall internsips for an international student?

[worthy spear]

uber's still waiting to hear back about headcount for next year before they extend return offers to current interns
@cerulean pivot do you know if this also applies to google lol

[cerulean pivot]

i dont work at google so no

google plans on recruiting for new grad in september though

so i imagine theyll do the standard intern -> fulltime conversion

[worthy spear]

@cerulean pivot source?

[misty gale]

@deft canopy fb is open. Already got a reject lol

[cerulean pivot]

source for what @worthy spear ?

[worthy spear]

google plans on recruiting for new grad in september though
@cerulean pivot

[cerulean pivot]

recruiter

im already in pipeline for new grad they havent opened apps yet

the recruiter will ping me when they r opened

[worthy spear]

how did you get in the pipeline already

[cerulean pivot]

she reached out to me idk

[worthy spear]

oh ok

[deft canopy]

Should I apply to amazon now or wait until after the webinars for the SDE interviews in like late august?

[worthy spear]

now

[tired bay]

Amazon Webinar: Do Leetcode, memorize Leadership principles

[worthy spear]

pretty much that ^

there's no secret sauce being shared in these webinars

[deft canopy]

I didnt know if people who attend them have a higher rate of getting an interview or something

[misty gale]

doesn't Amazon give an interview to everyone who clears the OA

[deft canopy]

Do they send an OA to everyone?

[misty gale]

I think so

[deft canopy]

I meant like at least getting the OA lol

oh ok

I applied for an internship last year but bombed the leetcode part of OA

[misty gale]

you'll get an OA as long as you don't apply too late, like after Dec or something

[deft canopy]

Is waiting till last august risky or worse?

[misty gale]

I applied for an internship last year but bombed the leetcode part of OA
oh.. I bombed the behavioral interview 😦 solved all problems

[deft canopy]

internship about to finish up then I want to grind up some leetcode for like 2 weeks

Dang that sucks especially after clearing the problems

[misty gale]

last august is not risky. but it will take more time for them to send you the OA

[deft canopy]

Ok thats fine just trying not to miss a deadline

[misty gale]

actually you can just apply now. I don't think they will send OAs soon

[deft canopy]

Ugh I hope they dont still have that virtual 2 hour thing again

that was pain

[misty gale]

lol yeah

it probably is still there haha

they take the LPs seriously

[deft canopy]

Yeah I need to start memorizing those again

Do they care about optimizing on the OA?

[misty gale]

nah just pass the testcases and you're good

[deft canopy]

I failed last time because I focused so hard on trying to find something optimal that I had no time for a brute when I realized I have potato brain lmao

ah ok

tahts good to know

any other good companies open rn? Other than fb or amazon

[misty gale]

I'm following this list I found somewhere on this discord: https://github.com/Pitt-CSC/NewGrad-2021

[deft canopy]

Ooo thats sick ty

[misty gale]

np

[deft canopy]

I wonder if interviewing for leetcode they see what problems u did and give u one youve never had lmao

[misty gale]

haha they do ask for your leetcode account so it's possible

[random knot]

say you don't have one xD

[deft canopy]

say u use hackerrank then instant deny

Which team did you guys pick for akuna capital?

does it change the interview type?

[misty gale]

I applied for Python and Data Infra.
Don't know about the interview type

[lilac geode]

Aye got next round for imc

[stuck turtle]

Aye got next round for imc
@lilac geode when did you get it?

[lilac geode]

Like 15 min ago

[proper rover]

Anyone got gs hirevue recently? How’s it like?

[stuck turtle]

did anyone hearback from citrix?

[drowsy cloak]

@proper rover one easy, one medium level

[deft canopy]

Anyone here interview with two sigma before?

[proper rover]

@proper rover one easy, one medium level
@drowsy cloak
Will there be some behavioral question?

[old kestrel]

Anyone know if two sigma quant SWE in NYC and two sigma SWE in Houston have different interviews

[drowsy cloak]

@proper rover sorry, i thought about HackerRank test, My bad. How long did it take to hear back after HackerRank test? And which location?

[worthy spear]

Aye got next round for imc
@lilac geode are you going to Chicago?

[lilac geode]

@worthy spear Nah it’s just a behavioral phone call

[worthy spear]

Wait that’s the final round? @lilac geode

And wasn’t that kinda the video interview?

[lilac geode]

I don’t think it’s the final one I’d assume there’s probably another one after this

[sage grotto]

yeah.
On site interview is the final one I guess

[misty gale]

@lilac geode when did you complete the OA?

[worthy spear]

Rip i did the vid interview before you and still haven’t heard back lol

Does anyone know how well we need to do on databricks thing?

[misty gale]

as well as you can lol

[lilac geode]

Huh the original email said that after the video interview there would be just one more on-site round

Guess they changed it

@misty gale I did the OA on July 14 and video interview on July 18

[misty gale]

ohh it takes time then. I just did the OA yesterday

@worthy spear depends on the company. last time Quora and TripActions did not accept my score of 788/850 😦 so I guess if you're above 800 maybe you got a better chance

[worthy spear]

@worthy spear depends on the company. last time Quora and TripActions did not accept my score of 788/850 😦 so I guess if you're above 800 maybe you got a better chance
@misty gale yea but potentially their problems weren’t as hard as databricks? I know quora is hard idk about trip actions

[misty gale]

nah that was definitely harder than this years

I was able to do all 4 questions this time

but not last year

my advice: don't overthink the problems. most will accept brute force solutions

[tranquil pebble]

Guys, I need some advice.
A friend of mine put in a referral for me for Amazon's SDE 2021 position. I didn't receive any email so I asked somebody else to do it because I thought I was being lied to. 😂
So when the other guy tried to do it, he wasn't able to because it said I have already applied to the position.
Now... I didn't apply, I didn't get an email confirming the referral and nothing shows up in my job portal.
What should I do?

[lilac geode]

I literally just got a confirmation email from Amazon about a referral like 5 seconds after you sent that so maybe wait and see if you get it?

[worthy spear]

@tranquil pebble did you find the person on blind by any chance

[astral garnet]

Amazon didn't send a confirmation email for my referral

And the guy for sure referred me

[tranquil pebble]

I literally just got a confirmation email from Amazon about a referral like 5 seconds after you sent that so maybe wait and see if you get it?
@lilac geode
He put in the referral like a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if it takes that long?

@tranquil pebble did you find the person on blind by any chance
@worthy spear No.

[astral garnet]

nah @tranquil pebble its pretty fast

[tranquil pebble]

Amazon didn't send a confirmation email for my referral
@astral garnet
Ah. Is there any way to confirm our application?

[worthy spear]

the person who referred me said hr should reach out in 2-3 weeks, was he capping?

[lilac geode]

@tranquil pebble my referral was submitted July 31st and got the confirmation email just now

[astral garnet]

If you got referred on X date with Y email

Login to amazon.jobs using Y email, you should see like a "draft" application for that position submitted on X date

[tranquil pebble]

Oh right.

[outer ruin]

interesting anyone know how much amazon referral helps for sde intern/new grad?

[tranquil pebble]

I'll check with my friend.

[worthy spear]

So what do you do when you see the draft application? You complete it right?

[tranquil pebble]

I am just kinda anxious about it. 😂

[astral garnet]

yeah you complete it

Its best to get referred using an email you haven't applied to Amazon with

Cuz then you know for sure the ref came through

[tranquil pebble]

Hmm. I applied for intern positions using that email. Is there a chance I'm going to get rejected because of it?

Login to amazon.jobs using Y email, you should see like a "draft" application for that position submitted on X date
@astral garnet did you see the draft immediately after getting referred?

[astral garnet]

I know I saw the draft the same day I got referred

[tranquil pebble]

Right.

I'm going to wait for it.

Fingers crossed.

[proper rover]

@proper rover sorry, i thought about HackerRank test, My bad. How long did it take to hear back after HackerRank test? And which location?
@drowsy cloak about two weeks

[deft canopy]

dammit just realized Akuna doesnt have java as an option

[tranquil pebble]

Citrix: applied last night with a referral, received a reject email today. Fml.

[misty gale]

@deft canopy apply for data infrastructure. it's Java only lol

[deft canopy]

I did I only got the python one so far

[astral garnet]

Ok I just got an amazon referral confirmation email after getting referred July 31st

[sage grotto]

Citrix: applied last night with a referral, received a reject email today. Fml.
@tranquil pebble Can you send the link for application

[tranquil pebble]

https://jobs.citrix.com/job/R22177/University-Software-Engineer-2021

[sage grotto]

thank you

[cerulean pivot]

lmao that company is crazy

i remember doing their oa last year and it being extremely hard because of the # of questions they asked

in the short time period

[stuck turtle]

i remember doing their oa last year and it being extremely hard because of the # of questions they asked
@cerulean pivot how many questions and time?

[cerulean pivot]

i dont remember

all i remember is the thought i just expressed

lmao

i erased that shit from my head

[stuck turtle]

lol ok

[worthy spear]

probably bad luck with questions

[cerulean pivot]

i htink it was like 3

in a hour

3 mediums

but i remember one not working

and getting fed up

and exiting the oa

[worthy spear]

3 mediums in an hour seems reasonable?

[cerulean pivot]

and proceeding to definitely not shit talk their company out of frustration

yea idk i think i was suepr tilted

i dont remember

[worthy spear]

Wait I got a Citrix internship offer last year. I did their phone interview and completely bombed it as in I didn’t know anything cuz they asked me hardware stuff I didn’t know yet and I still got an offer

[deft canopy]

me during every OA lol

[cerulean pivot]

yea i think i got annoyed that i was failing citrix

oa

like the questions themselves werent annoying me

[worthy spear]

Its a pretty meh company that

Tho*

[cerulean pivot]

yea thats y i was tilted

tfw fail meh tech company oa

[deft canopy]

how is VMware?

[cerulean pivot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

never applied

[deft canopy]

they sent this questionnaire thing I had to fill out

ah ok

[cerulean pivot]

wait thats a lie i applied on jumpstart what the hell

[deft canopy]

lolol

also I am procrastinating this citadel OA I need to do that this weekend

[patent cloak]

damn DRW OA you can only use Java or C++ but they highly recommend C++. Rip hahah

[cerulean pivot]

why do u want to work at citadel

[patent cloak]

Citadel OA was pretty tough tbh

[cerulean pivot]

dude i did the drw oa last year got all passing very quickly and got the FAT reject

[deft canopy]

I am just applying to most places even if I feel meh to get practice

[patent cloak]

@cerulean pivot damn that blows. Do you remember it being difficult? I haven’t done Java or C++ in a while so if I have to use any data structure beyond an array, I might be in trouble lmao

[cerulean pivot]

it was pretty standard from what i remember

to the other oas i was taking

unironically i think the hardest oa i took

was honey

[deft canopy]

anyone take IMC oa?

[cerulean pivot]

but i hear roblox has super hard oa too

[patent cloak]

IMC wasn’t bad at all. You get 90 minutes for one problem. It’s not algorithm-y, more like data parsing/cleaning heavy

[nova gyro]

Roblox and citadel are the hardest OA I've taken

[high thunder]

Citadel was cake imo

[cerulean pivot]

omg flex

[urban hemlock]

Whoever was sketching about Amazon referral-- It took 4 day to get my confirmation email

[high thunder]

How do I get Robles

[cerulean pivot]

email a recruiter

[urban hemlock]

@high thunder There are different problems

[cerulean pivot]

say u love their game

[high thunder]

Nvm

[urban hemlock]

Mine was 2 easy/mediums I finished in 20 mins but others got hards

[high thunder]

Minecraft better

Rip

[sage fog]

Minecraft OA in Java probably

[high thunder]

No

Bedrock is C++

[sage fog]

Bedrock isn't supported much anymore tho no?

I see most of the updates on the Java version

[high thunder]

No lol bedrock is flagship. Tell em @worthy spear @south pond

[lucid marlin]

Java is flagship

[worthy spear]

@lucid marlin no it’s not

@high thunder and I interned at Microsoft. We worked on a project related to Bedrock, The lowest played Bedrock platform has more players then Java

Java is the version that gets features first. If that’s how you define flagship sure, but by numbers. Bedrock destroys Java

[high thunder]

😉

[worthy spear]

All of new feature development is done by Mojang and the studio still operates with a lot of freedom

[lucid marlin]

Oh okie @worthy spear

[snow kayak]

Greylock Engineer AMA https://greylock.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ub6vdmh5RNa1zV3_Pz8Elg

[sage grotto]

Just got reply from SAP for assessment.

anyone attempted it?

[misty gale]

Haven't received it yet. When did you apply?

[steel drum]

Yah didn't receive it.
It's written that they'll send the assessment on Aug 31 right?

[lilac geode]

@sage grotto weird they told me they wouldn’t send OAs out til august 31st

[sage grotto]

damn i just got a mail from them saying ignore the previous mail

[lilac geode]

😂😂

[sage grotto]

@sage grotto weird they told me they wouldn’t send OAs out til august 31st
@lilac geode yeah they mentioned it in second mail now

😂

and weird thing is I can graduate in December 2020 if I want xD

[steel drum]

Haha nice

[sage grotto]

or more accurcate would be if i have a offer letter by mid septmber

and weird thing is I can graduate in December 2020 if I want xD
@sage grotto

[deft canopy]

Just finished IMC oa you were right @patent cloak it wasnt too bad but cant go off much with only 3 test cases

didnt have time to make my own but I handled edge cases I believe

[snow kayak]

@stuck turtle if you signed up for the microsoft Zoom tonight, they just said they’ll go over new grad info

[winged kelp]

Are there still spots @snow kayak

[snow kayak]

It’s happening right now so I’m unsure if you can register still

[winged kelp]

Ok, is it possible to post the new grad timeline in here if there is news on it?

If you are attending

[snow kayak]

That’s the plan 👍🏾

[winged kelp]

Thank you so much 🙂

[snow kayak]

Microsoft has no ATS process, from what the recruiters say.

Most interns are converted to full-time. (Person hosting is a 4x intern with Microsoft)

Everything goes live on August 15, Explore, Intern, New Grad.

[heavy hare]

Guys! Any idea when paypal rolls out their new grad positions?

[winged kelp]

Isn’t it out?

[heavy hare]

Software Engineer - University Graduate

https://g.co/kgs/AvxbT7

It's this one, right?

[tired bay]

Yup @heavy hare

[heavy hare]

But it says, Graduated within the past 12 months, or will be graduating by Spring 2021, with a Bachelor’s or Master’s

[worthy spear]

@snow kayak no oa?

[snow kayak]

They don’t give OA at Microsoft

[worthy spear]

they had them last year

[snow kayak]

Maybe they’re changing it this year? Who knows

[frosty forum]

Forgive my dumbass, but what's OA?

[misty gale]

Online Assessment

[snow kayak]

Online assessment

[frosty forum]

Thanks lol, so I'm assuming that's leetcode, codesignal, etc?

[misty gale]

usually hackerrank/codility

[snow kayak]

how does Codility differ from hackerrank? Or is it similar?

[misty gale]

it's similar, but has some hidden testcases that only run after you make the final submission

so you don't know your final score

[snow kayak]

that’s annoying

[cerulean pivot]

robinhood phone screen 👀

[high thunder]

I never got the OA oops

[drowsy cloak]

Anyone applied to amazon new grad 2021 - canada?

I got resume rejection

It feels horrible!!

[split shore]

Anyone done that 15min call with a recruiter from IMC after going through the OA and video interview?

[heavy hare]

@cerulean pivot when did you apply and which position?

[worthy spear]

Anyone done that 15min call with a recruiter from IMC after going through the OA and video interview?
@split shore have you heard back after IMc video interview?

Has anyone else not heard back from vid interview lol I’m assuming I’m rejected at this point

[split shore]

Yeah they requested me to do a 15min call with a recruiter

[astral garnet]

IMC explicitly rejects after video, so if you haven't gotten anything ur good

[lilac geode]

Lol two different Robinhood recruiters sent me the same email

[heavy hare]

Has anyone given the Robinhood OA ?

@lilac geode looks like they definitely want you to be a part of their team

[lilac geode]

Anyone done that 15min call with a recruiter from IMC after going through the OA and video interview?
@split shore scheduled mine for tomorrow

[snow kayak]

If anyone is interested in Frontend internships at Facebook, the recruiter I heard back from is Kathleen Ruffner.

[upbeat bronze]

How often does Amazon takee to respond with a OA for New Grad SWE?

Has anyone taken the OA for Databricks? Any help would be appreciated in terms of what I can do to prep for it!

[tired bay]

They release OAs in increments could be a couple weeks or could be months

[upbeat bronze]

@whole spoke , is the codesignal practice assessment similar in terms of diff?

Thank you @tired bay and @whole spoke

[pallid pilot]

@upbeat bronze I would say so - but code signal supposedly gives people harder questions so its sort of up to chance. Also I believe the practise tests have a pretty small question bank so you can only do 1/2 before it starts to warn you that you've already done all of the questions so don't think you can keep doing as many as you want

[worthy spear]

IMC explicitly rejects after video, so if you haven't gotten anything ur good
@astral garnet yea but realistically they’re gonna email people they move on first right cuz they have higher priority

[upbeat bronze]

Alright, I'll give the practicee assessment a try. Thankss @pallid pilot

[proper rover]

Anyone heard back from Akuna after OA?

[worthy spear]

Anyone heard back from optiver?

[deft canopy]

when you get excited about a robinhood email but its just your account statement

[worthy spear]

@worthy spear got a fat rejection

@worthy spear for what?

optiver swe intern

Wait intern or full time?

intern

Damn

I haven’t heard back its been two weeks for FT

[patent cloak]

@lilac geode same. I’m just going along with it lol. I’m assuming it’s because I applied to both the backend and web engineer?? Who knows

[deft canopy]

is it better to reach out to recruiters or just apply online

or both lol

[safe grotto]

^

When reaching out to recruiters its better to first establish a connection, without asking for a referral directly.

[ebon dagger]

wait so when you reach out to recruiters

do you eventually ask for a referral?

[worthy spear]

when you get excited about a robinhood email but its just your account statement
@deft canopy

[deft canopy]

lolol

[snow kayak]

if the recruiters like you, they’d offer to refer you or look out for your application

[sage fog]

anthony, don't tease me like that 😳

[worthy spear]

[deft canopy]

So how is that codesignal test companies make you do?

the general assessment one

[cerulean pivot]

its random

[deft canopy]

robinhood wants my score so I have to take it (confirmed the email wasnt just account statement lmao)

oh ok

[cerulean pivot]

i got thru robinhood at a 782

[deft canopy]

is the score just amount of testcases passed?

[cerulean pivot]

its a combination of things

how fast u code, how many times u try to recompile etc

[deft canopy]

Oh shoot didnt know that

How many questions do u have to solve in the time frame?

[cerulean pivot]

3 or 4

dont remember

i did it last yr

[high thunder]

lol sounds annoying

[deft canopy]

at least its not that hirevue bs that tracks if u smile or not

[high thunder]

Lol

[cerulean pivot]

i actually am in favor of the codesignal thing

since multiple companies are using it, its more efficient with time

i only have to do one OA and they use that score

i mean it would suck ass if u bomb it i guess

[deft canopy]

Can I retake it if I dont like the score when another company asks for it?

[cerulean pivot]

im not sure actually

havent tried

but i know on one code signal acc u can only take once every 6 months or something

[deft canopy]

oh shoot

[cerulean pivot]

they make u verify ur id or someting

before u start the test

and u screenshare/have webcam on

[deft canopy]

Yeah it seems good but if you have a bad day and bomb then gg for other companies that request that score lol

[cerulean pivot]

yea that is a good point

[deft canopy]

But if they let u retake the test per company or have the option to reuse ur best previous test then I think that will be the best system

[cerulean pivot]

agree

[worthy spear]

It says we have 14 days to send the score I can wait 12 days until I retake the test should I do that?

[deft canopy]

If you dont like your score id do it

[worthy spear]

My score is 775 but I completely dropped the ball on the last one I couldn’t get indexing from 1 to work for the life of me

But I’m just worried since it’s close to the deadline it’s a bad look for robinhood lol

[deft canopy]

Do they take highest score?

Like if you were to score 750 or something would they take ur 775 instead?

[worthy spear]

I have no idea

[frosty forum]

Anyone take the VMWare hackerrank yet?

[tired bay]

Finally got Robinhood

[pallid pilot]

@deft canopy I'm pretty sure how it works is when a company requests a coding assesment from you, you can: A) chose ANY previously completed assesment from your account (presumably the highest but they all appear) or B) select to do a new test which will be submitted to them and saved on your account (so you cant chose a different test if you do worse)

[worthy spear]

@high thunder what's your CF rating?

[high thunder]

1900

Used to be higher but idc anymore

[worthy spear]

Cool, I never focused on it so I'm a 1500 :/

[worthy spear]

has anyone received IMC video recording request?

i heard it's a precursor for rejection. 😅

[lilac geode]

@worthy spear what makes you think it’s precursor for rejection?

Me and a few other people here got phone interviews after doing the video thing

[worthy spear]

almost everyone who have got that got a rejection after that

@lilac geode and that's encouraging too...

[patent cloak]

Damn I just got the video interview request, but that’s a good sign @lilac geode

Is it just behavioral questions?

[lilac geode]

Behavioral and technical

[native drum]

Woah @snow kayak where did u get that from

[snow kayak]

Codepath had their Bloomberg event today!

[lilac geode]

IMC phone call went really well recruiter went to my college

Said final round will be in 2-3 weeks with offers in 4-5 weeks

[old kestrel]

[odd crane]

@lilac geode how many days after Video interview did you get phone screen with recruiter?

[lilac geode]

@odd crane 17 days

[worthy spear]

Just got IMC recruiter talk lmao

@lilac geode what was it like?

[lilac geode]

Just all behavioral

[odd crane]

I gave interview on 18th July but haven't heard back from them yet

[worthy spear]

[tepid minnow]

Has anyone received the OA from Databricks ?

[sage grotto]

yeah

[tepid minnow]

Did you give it already ? If yes, could you share your experience ?

[sage grotto]

I have deadline of 14th august.
planning to give it in next week

[tepid minnow]

Ohh same here, I am planning to give it tomorrow. I will post my experience if I go ahead and give it tomorrow.

Thanks.

[sage grotto]

yeah all the best man

[tepid minnow]

If anyone else has given the OA for Databricks, please do share your experience. It'll be a great help.

Thanks in advance.

In 70 minutes ?

I think it's pretty similar to quora then

Thanks man, appreciate it.

[desert elk]

Did anyone heard back from Databricks after giving OA?

[broken venture]

Does anyone know if apple new grad came out?

i checked their website and they just have things for full time but i was wondering if they release positions for recently graduated specficially

[patent cloak]

They don’t release new grad specific positions unfortunately

[broken venture]

damn alright, thanks for letting me know

[nova gyro]

lol what the heck was that cisco OA?

anyone else thought it was too easy?

[barren jungle]

when did you get the cisco oa?

[nova gyro]

Yesterday

[tranquil pebble]

@nova gyro when did you apply? And did you apply with a referral?

[deft canopy]

@nova gyro was it just leetcode style questions?

just got the OA email

[astral garnet]

Databricks reached out to setup a phone call with recruiter

after OA

[worthy spear]

score?

[astral garnet]

847

[deft canopy]

smh not even 850

jkjk thats insanely good

[astral garnet]

yeah feels bad

[deft canopy]

good stuff

[worthy spear]

847 holy

fishlicker are you codeforce red

pogchamp

damn thats crazy

[high thunder]

@astral garnet dang you beat me by 6

[sage grotto]

any idea about when does Mathworks position opens?

[astral garnet]

I'm orange on cf

yeah I got pretty lucky with my questions all 4 were easy - mediums

[sage grotto]

I just got Cisco OA

is it tough?

[high thunder]

@astral garnet my questions took 2,6,36,6 minutes

I ruined my score on the 36

Sad 😦

[astral garnet]

RIP

Yeah the good thing is companies just seem to look at codesignal as a binary pass fail

So I think any score over like 800 is just "good enough" and it doesn't matter how much over you get

[grand walrus]

it's top X people with highest score
eh, seems more likely they'd take a second look at resumes if they wanted to cut down the pipeline more. It's probably not worth interviewing someone because they got an 845 versus an 844 when usually their resumes will have far more potential distinguishing factors

[misty gale]

@astral garnet when did you take the codesignal OA?
It's been a week for me and no response. My score was 843

did anyone take the IMC video interview? that's it about?

[astral garnet]

My databricks process looked like
got codesignal (02-08-2020)
completed codesignal (03-08-2020)
recruiter reach out (06-08-2020)

[tranquil pebble]

@sage grotto when did you apply for Cisco?

[sage grotto]

yesterday

[timber stump]

@misty gale when i did it a couple years ago they asked some OOP questions and i think to explain how you'd so some basic leetcode question in words

[upbeat bronze]

Anyone takeen the Akuna OA for Python Junior Dev - 2021

Any advice will be appreciated!

[misty gale]

LC easy+mediums

@upbeat bronze

[upbeat bronze]

@misty gale , okay sounds good. I'm assuming theyll ask a lot of Graph related Qs (everyone does at this point ) so ill start off from there lol

[misty gale]

no graphs

don't overthink, just take the test if you have some practice lol

[upbeat bronze]

haha sounds good @misty gale , appreciate the help. Hoping to take test in a few days will post my experience for anyone else who gets Akuna OA!

[nova gyro]

Anyone have an issue where their Amazon application is marked as submitted on amazonuniversity.jobs, but marked as incomplete on amazon.jobs?

when did you apply? And did you apply with a referral?
@tranquil pebble I applied yesterday with no referral
@nova gyro was it just leetcode style questions?
@deft canopy 1 leetcode easy + some basic programming tasks

[fickle falcon]

for me it shows in draft...and gives option to complete application! (in amazon.jobs portal)

anyone facing this issue?

[nova gyro]

same

edit you submitted in amazon university jobs?

I think I had this same issue last year

[fickle falcon]

i submitted in amazonuniversity and not the amazon.jobs

[nova gyro]

yeah that's what I meant sorry

[fickle falcon]

so last year

did u submit in amazon.jobs as well?

[nova gyro]

yeah last year I panicked and submitted it again in amazon jobs

and it seemed to work out

[fickle falcon]

ohh okay cool

[nova gyro]

but I didn't know it was a recurring problem. I thought I just forgot to submit

Oh this is weird, when you click the draft link from amazon jobs

it just sends you to amazonuniversityjobs, where it shows as submitted

🤷‍♂️

[fickle falcon]

weird :/

[verbal leaf]

@nova gyro > yeah last year I panicked and submitted it again in amazon jobs
@nova gyro
It's fine if you just submit once in either of the portals

[stuck turtle]

is blackrock application out?

[tranquil pebble]

@tranquil pebble I applied yesterday with no referral
@deft canopy 1 leetcode easy + some basic programming tasks
@nova gyro thank you

[deft canopy]

Cisco OA was ezpz

yeah I was saying before

Cisco oa is EZ

there's also some weird things about it

[tulip folio]

Did anyone give the Cisco Assesment for masters grad?

Questions were easy af but testcases would randomly pass or fail.

[high thunder]

@mental frigate haven’t heard back from citadel but I destroyed that OA. Maybe just my non-target school status

[sage grotto]

anyone on F1 Visa applied for Amazon SDE? need small help with application.

[worthy spear]

@mental frigate haven’t heard back from citadel but I destroyed that OA. Maybe just my non-target school status
@high thunder i go to target, got perfect on it and still haven’t heard back

[high thunder]

Yikes

They might be at headcount

[uncut citrus]

is there any webpage with a list of 2021 applications

like that one for intern apps last year that someone made on github?

[high thunder]

Supposed to be one but not really spun up yet

[verbal leaf]

anyone on F1 Visa applied for Amazon SDE? need small help with application.
@sage grotto Yes?

[worthy spear]

I got referred to amazon a couple days ago but still haven’t received an email... is this normal?

[sage grotto]

@verbal leaf did they ask you for EAD expiry date?

[uncut citrus]

amazon was always slow on emails back when I applied for my internship

[urban hemlock]

@worthy spear took me 4 days to get mine

[pale anchor]

Does Robinhood give everyone code signal?

[undone mica]

I think some havent received robins OA

It took me like 2-3 days to get it

[verbal leaf]

@verbal leaf did they ask you for EAD expiry date?
@sage grotto nope

[proper rover]

Does anyone submit amazon application on 7.27 but the status is still submitted? Seems that many people submitted after this become “under review” ... become panic😩

[snow kayak]

learning how little chance there is to get a new grad role at lyft if you don’t intern there 😢

@tulip folio Thanks bro!
I guess I applied for Bachelor's position

[undone mica]

Sorry i was driving!!

[old kestrel]

i think for robinhood u need target school or 850

@misty gale

[patent cloak]

^

I got an 847 and got a Robinhood phone interview so that makes sense

[tired bay]

@patent cloak Where u go to school

[patent cloak]

University of Maryland. Good school but not a “target school”. Idk

[misty gale]

what's a "target school"? you mean Stanford etc?

[patent cloak]

I take target school to mean like a top 5 CS school

[misty gale]

UMD is a really good school and I think is in top 20, if not top 10

I go to UT Dallas so that can be one reason

[patent cloak]

That’s true

[misty gale]

fml

[tired bay]

Yeah UMD is a good CS school

[patent cloak]

Yeah I’m sure Robinhood factored in a lot of stuff. There’s a lot of luck too. It’s wild how a 843 gets rejected though

[silver halo]

its not just score based they look at your resume too, I know someone who got phone with 755

[stuck turtle]

Questions were easy af but testcases would randomly pass or fail.
@tulip folio were you able to get all test cases right, it was so random?

[dry walrus]

I think they might also look into resume and our profile, not sure though

its not just score based they look at your resume too, I know someone who got phone with 755
@silver halo

[misty gale]

Just posted my resume in the #resume channel. plz take a look

@silver halo @dry walrus

[silver halo]

looks fine to me tbh idk what the reason might lol in your case

[dry walrus]

Looks good for me , not sure why they rejected.
😦

[misty gale]

😦

nvm, I'll just target other companies lol

[pale anchor]

Robinhood asks crazy hard system design quesrions

[high thunder]

Hard?

[daring bough]

@misty gale do you need any kind of visa sponsorship? That’s one possible reason

[misty gale]

@daring bough yeah I'm on F-1 visa. yeah that makes sense

[heavy hare]

The Robinhood codesignal test is of 1200 points, right?

[misty gale]

850

[patent cloak]

They ask system design to new grad at Robinhood?

[undone mica]

If its 4 questions, its 300 each but the 850 total is a combination of speed, correctness, minimal attempts, etc

850 is not due to each questions points. Its other factors

[heavy hare]

Oh I see, that makes sense

[tulip folio]

@tulip folio were you able to get all test cases right, it was so random?
@stuck turtle I got all test cases right for one of the questions. But when I recompiled all the questions before submitting, it started failing.

[stuck turtle]

ya same here

@stuck turtle I got all test cases right for one of the questions. But when I recompiled all the questions before submitting, it started failing.
@tulip folio

[drowsy cloak]

I'm confused is that my score or it is still pending?

[patent cloak]

It has to get approved by a codesignal employee. Give it a day or two then it’ll automatically send it to the company

[drowsy cloak]

Do i get any notification while they send the report to the company?

[tulip zenith]

yeah u get an email once ur score is certified

takes about a day

[drowsy cloak]

Okay thanks

Reading previous massages I think this score isn't enough for Robinhood. Is there same scenario for Databricks?

[patent cloak]

That’s a great score, but there isn’t a defined number. Like I got through Robinhood but not databricks so 🤷‍♀️. It seems like if you get above a 750 you have a chance

[worthy spear]

are you allowed to retake?

[drowsy cloak]

Maybe not. You are allowed to take the coding challenge once in every two weeks.

[tulip zenith]

30 days* unless you get another company requesting code signal

[shrewd kestrel]

Did anyone give Cisco's Assesment? Wanted to know the number of problems and their difficulty

[fickle falcon]

@tulip folio same happened with me as well!

Did anyone give Cisco's Assesment? Wanted to know the number of problems and their difficulty
@shrewd kestrel 3 questions. I got 2 easy and 1 LC hard but my test cases went for a toss randomly.

[shrewd kestrel]

thanks... And time for 3 problems?

[winged kelp]

Finished robinhood, 839

[pliant steppe]

for people who've taken the codesignal: is it always just arrays, strings, hashmap questions or is that just the practice tests?

[pallid pilot]

@pliant steppe I'm pretty sure the first two are usually easy string or array questions (like the ones in practise) but the last two can be anything really

[winged kelp]

I had a weird array one and a weird math one

[shrewd kestrel]

@shrewd kestrel 3 questions. I got 2 easy and 1 LC hard but my test cases went for a toss randomly.

[patent cloak]

Yeah something was def wonky with the Cisco test cases. Literally found the exact problem on LC and it passed the LC tests like wtf hahaha

I could have been wrong but it’s weird we all had similar experiences

[astral garnet]

undefined behaviour is you used C++?

[patent cloak]

Python

[undone mica]

thank god someone said something about cisco

i just completed it and for the last 20-30 minutes of the exam i was like wtf is going on? i passed 11/14 of the test cases but i KNOW i had the correct solution

[patent cloak]

SAME

[undone mica]

even passed on leetcode and shit so there's 20-30 minutes of my life wasted

[patent cloak]

I had 11/14

[undone mica]

OKAY SO YOU KNOW WHAT QUESTION IM TALKING ABOUT

[patent cloak]

YES

that’s wild

[undone mica]

i think it had to do with || output 0 ||

[steel drum]

Yeah same. Only 2/8 test cases passed :(

[undone mica]

i think they used the wrong value

[patent cloak]

Maybe??

[undone mica]

because those three had to be edge cases

and like i know for a fact that it was perfect

so what if it was like output MIN_VALUE

i would be pissed because i just stared at it for 20 minutes

[patent cloak]

Idk I tried all combinations of returning min value, 0, the negative value and none of them worked

[undone mica]

unless those three were timeout situations and we needed a || O(log n) rather than O(n)||?

that be crazy tho

i saw something on DP and i didnt care to read it after the assessment

[patent cloak]

No logn for that problem is literally impossible. If we’re talking about the same one

[undone mica]

there is

look!

oh wait nvm

still O(n)

[patent cloak]

Yeah lol

Oh well

[nova gyro]

feel sorry for you dudes, could have gotten the super easy OA

[patent cloak]

One of my questions was to find the length of a list. I cannot make this up

[sage grotto]

hahahahah

[undone mica]

Oh yeah

It was a joke

The hardest was highest k occurrence basically

The second one was basically a two liner

@patent cloak we had the same oa oh god lmao

[tulip folio]

feel sorry for you dudes, could have gotten the super easy OA
@nova gyro Did you do the bachelors OA or masters ?

[nova gyro]

Does Databricks' OA record screen and video?

[astral garnet]

yes

[pale anchor]

Does CodeSignal do that for every company?

[winged kelp]

Don't believe so

[pliant steppe]

just to make sure: you're not allowed to look at documentation etc during the codesignal, right?

[undone mica]

I believe youre allowed to refer to any language documentation but not allowed to search blatant answers or “ideas”

[tired bay]

Yeah it states documentation is fine

[dry walrus]

Has anyone received cisco OA for New Grad Masters role ?
@magic plover Did anyone give Cisco OA for Masters role?

can anybody please share the questions?

[dry walrus]

@tulip folio Do you remember the questions you received for Cisco OA?
how many questions are there?

[fervent trellis]

Has anyone recently taken OA for Akuna Capital Data Infrastructure? I f yes, what did they ask?

[round vortex]

Does anyone receive oa of intuit?

[shrewd kestrel]

Ciso has 3 questions which are pretty easy... But they have multiple hidden test cases that randomly fail or pass

[worthy spear]

do you take code signal one time only or once for every company

[stuck turtle]

Does anyone receive oa of intuit?
@round vortex could you share the job posting?

Nope.. I don’t receive it and I know someone has received it.

We should pin this instead of the current pin

[pale anchor]

What does it mean to reject a company on CodeSignal?

Can I take another assessment for them? Or does it mean they are gone on my page forever?

I see "Reject" here as well

I guess I should share my results with both then

Thank you @worthy spear

[uncut citrus]

@cerulean pivot how do you know that stripe is opening monday?

[worthy spear]

is the codesignal assessment the same for all companies? like if i open the robinhood link and databricks would i get the same questions either way or would it vary on which i open first

[barren wadi]

Just now finished Cisco OA exam.
It was damn easy.
But there was an issue while taking the input, there were some extra spaces because of which Integer parser couldn't convert from string to int. So trimmed the input and all test cases have been cleared 🤘🏼.
I would recommend you'll to trim input if any of you feel your test cases haven't passed even though logic is correct.

[slate briar]

@tired bay are you checking on Amazonuniversity?

[tired bay]

@slate briar This on Amazon.jobs

[slate briar]

Did you apply on amazon.jobs or university?

[tired bay]

Amazon.jobs cause of referral that’s where it showed up

[slate briar]

Okay

I applied without referral so I just have account on amazon uni

@tired bay so you didn't do anything in amazon uni right?

[tired bay]

Nope

[tranquil pebble]

Just now finished Cisco OA exam.

i havent gotten any email or anything so far, and applied a couple of days ago

[tranquil pebble]

has anyone applied to amazon with a referral?
@broken venture yeah. You should see a draft application in your amazon.jobs page. The email took around a week for me.

[worthy spear]

IMC recruiter call today wish me luck lol

[buoyant grove]

If i get a google referral , will that consider me for roles i have already applied or roles that i will apply after the referral?

[snow kayak]

those who graduate in the fall.. do you say you’re a senior or a junior? i’ve been saying i’m a junior but not sure how correct that is lol

[astral garnet]

@buoyant grove google referals basically give you 3 applications, that when made, have that referral attached to it

So they prolly won't be attached to the roles you already applied for, no

[buoyant grove]

@buoyant grove google referals basically give you 3 applications, that when made, have that referral attached to it
@astral garnet okay ,thank you

[worthy spear]

[old kestrel]

[lilac geode]

@worthy spear you talking about imc?

[worthy spear]

Yea

@lilac geode

[lilac geode]

Kinda seemed like they will make more cuts from what the recruiter was saying in mine but not 100% sure

[worthy spear]

Yea same she said they’re still compiling people from the phone screens

But I should be hearing about how to prepare and schedule a final interview later this week

Is that something similar to what your recruiter said to you?

[barren wadi]

IMC recruiter call today wish me luck lol
All the best @Ratinsweet

@worthy spear yep

[lilac geode]

Lmao yeah hopefully

[worthy spear]

bruh im so nervous i wish i went to FB instead of google for my last internship there's so much BS when it comes to converting to fulltime at google

[high thunder]

F

[worthy spear]

Did you enjoy your time there as an intern tho?

[barren jungle]

you can apply to google and get a referral afterwards, they do retroactive referrals

[subtle perch]

Hey guys, I need some information regarding the Amazon New Gard opening. Please, can you check your student portal and let me know the current status of your application as many of my friends application has moved from "Application Submitted" to "No longer under consideration"

"Application Submitted" to "No longer under consideration" *

[high thunder]

🙃

[proper rover]

When are you friends going to graduate?

[winged kelp]

Mine says application submitted

[subtle perch]

Most of them have graduated this spring and would be graduating next year as well. I guess the date of graduation hardly matters for 2020 graduates and 2021 graduates as well.

Mine says application submitted
@winged kelp When did you apply?

[winged kelp]

Uhhh they sent out an email

So I applied the day after let me check

July 31

[subtle perch]

Uhhh they sent out an email
@winged kelp Okay then just wait for a day or two.

[winged kelp]

Ok will update you when it changes

[tired bay]

Yeah I’m in “under consideration” now

[subtle perch]

For sure. Thank you so much. I hope it changes for everyone, so that every individual gets fair opportunity.

Yeah I’m in “under consideration” now
@tired bay Okay. Let's see what happens.

[teal finch]

Hey guys, I need some information regarding the Amazon New Gard opening. Please, can you check your student portal and let me know the current status of your application as many of my friends application has moved from "Application Submitted" to "No longer under consideration"
@subtle perch mine portal says 'no longer', and most of my friends graduated in May also got 'no longer' after application.

[sage grotto]

Anyone got reply from GS?

[subtle perch]

@subtle perch mine portal says 'no longer', and most of my friends graduated in May also got 'no longer' after application.
@teal finch Let's see what happens. Not sure regarding the process of Amazon as it keeps on changing.

Anyone got reply from GS?
@sage grotto Not yet. Done with first round but didn't receive any response from them.

[patent cloak]

I don’t have experience with stripe but I heard it’s less leetcode-y questions (at least in the “on-site”) and more of, design this feature with an http request, debug this code, etc

[tired bay]

Based on levels.fyi looks like a lot of stock

[patent cloak]

If you get stock for a company that isn’t public yet, can you sell all your shares immediately when they go public? I’m not an expert and I’m sure there are a ton of exceptions but it seems with a lot of new tech companies that go public, their stock kinda tanks after a few weeks

[high thunder]

Stripe application submitted 👌

[tired bay]

@patent cloak They give you options which have a strike price and a day they expire and there is usually a freeze period after IPO

Same @high thunder

[barren jungle]

@worthy spear yep to SG visa

[uncut citrus]

@patent cloak there is usually a freeze period

to prevent that

[worthy spear]

so how exactly does your comp work if the company hasn't ipo'd yet? Like it's all just paper money?

[uncut citrus]

I heard stripe was gonna open today

idk how to know which positions are new grad ones tho

not sure if they actually added any today

[worthy spear]

https://stripe.com/jobs/listing/2021-new-grad-engineer/2162716

[high thunder]

They just went up

[uncut citrus]

weird I dont see it on the jobs page

im on mobile and probably just blind

[worthy spear]

i think so, i know an international student that interned there this summer

not sure if that counts

[high thunder]

Pretty much any tech company with working at sponsors visa

@subtle perch Mine is also moved to "No longer under consideration", what the hell?

[subtle perch]

@subtle perch Mine is also moved to "No longer under consideration", what the hell?
@nova gyro Haha. I guess they will start giving the coding rounds very soon. That's all I can say bud.

[nova gyro]

Are you and your friends all international?

I'm thinking if this is a visa reject

[nova gyro]

Anyone here Canadian and applied for US Amazon?

[astral garnet]

I'm canadian, still under consideration

[nova gyro]

Hmm weird

[compact patio]

my amazon app says "under review", only shows up under amazon student and nothing on amazon jobs

[astral garnet]

I don't think Amazon would visa reject

they're way too big

[tulip folio]

my amazon app says "under review", only shows up under amazon student and nothing on amazon jobs
@compact patio does it say 'under review' in the university portal?

[compact patio]

yep in the university portal, it doesn't show an application for me in amazon jobs, only in amazon university/students

[tulip folio]

dang. it says under consideration for me on jobs and submitted on university

[compact patio]

did you apply with a referral

[tulip folio]

yep

wbu?

[compact patio]

nope, I've seen those with a referral have an application under jobs

[tired bay]

Yeah referrals go to jobs

[odd crane]

is 779 on codesignal a good score to get phone screen?

[tranquil rampart]

also, is codeSignals practice test is similar to original?

[crisp glacier]

@subtle perch Mine is also moved to "No longer under consideration", what the hell?
@nova gyro are u looking for 2020 or 2021 ?

[worthy spear]

@crisp glacier in the university portal?

[crisp glacier]

no @worthy spear mine is still submitted on uni. portal but i am asking @nova gyro

[nova gyro]

I applied for 2021 and I put my grad date as Dec 2020

Trying to figure out if some part of my app made me get reject like visa or grad date

[tulip folio]

Maybe it's a bachelor/master's thing?

def not visa

[winged kelp]

wdym bachelor/masters thing?

[tulip folio]

i mean is there a separate application for bachelor grads?

like cisco.

[frail sedge]

hey yall, im looking to get a web dev role but don't feel super confident in web specific stuff. is it enough to get by understanding cs fundamentals and higher level concepts such as system design?

don't feel like there will be enough time to be interview ready for those things :/

yea, if it is more technology specific i'd be so screwed which is my concern

feel like larger companies are more lenient on background but more competitive

[shell lily]

Hi! Anyone know what companies have opened applications for 2021 grads in India?

[pale anchor]

Rejected by databricks

[sullen forge]

when did you give OA ?

[subtle perch]

Rejected by databricks
@pale anchor +1

[verbal leaf]

@@pale anchor Damn, that's bad. How much was your score?

@subtle perch What was your score?

[subtle perch]

@@pale anchor Damn, that's bad. How much was your score?
@verbal leaf It was around 760-780 something. I was able to solve 2 questions and half of the third question. For me the questions were on the hard side.

[pale anchor]

I got about 780

I got 2 easy 2 hard

[subtle perch]

Even I am not sure how things are working right now. These companies are expecting an individual to solve 4 questions within a time span of 70-90mins with 2 hard questions. How is it even possible?

[vagrant raft]

Codesignal is random

Some people got 4 easies

Some got 1 easy 1 medium and 2 hards

[subtle perch]

Codesignal is random
@vagrant raft Yeah. All depends upon luck. Interviews are actually a gamble. 😛

Did anyone of you get Robinhood Assessment? If you guys are done please, do share your experience if possible.

[nova gyro]

According to reddit, code signal score doesn't matter

You can score perfect and get resume reject

But in reddit the guy had 2x faang intern and 843 code signal

I have 0x faang intern 😛

Maybe they prefer their interns with a clean slate

Less you know the better

good point

[barren wadi]

I got Citadel OA without any deadline.
When are we expected to finish that?

[high thunder]

just do it asap

[verbal leaf]

@danny2 this is a joke right?

Just curious, how hard are Dropbox interviews? Has anybody interviewed there?

[tidal tangle]

I heard they are pretty hard but I haven't interviewed there

[undone mica]

Asana interview was fun

[cerulean pivot]

cool

what made it fun?

[undone mica]

First question was leetcode but second question was design. He didnt really want a coded solution but wanted to know what the approach would be

I had fun ngl

damn nice

thats good
