For intern it was 7 questions change 1 line of code

#

Last year

zinc dune
#

Yep they're pretty basic

tight ibex
#

yeah

#

everyone got the same questions as well

tired bay
#

Anyone take VMware yet?

patent cloak
#

VMware was pretty easy. Basic DS multiple choice questions and an easy and medium LC

mental frigate
#

@patent cloak how long did it take for you to get an OA post application?

bold gull
#

VMWare was pretty easy agreed, got contacted same day i applied to fill out a form then 3 days later got HR

#

I mentioned a competing deadline so may have been faster because of that

tired bay
#

I applied Monday filled out survey yesterday got test tonight

pale anchor
#

I applied Monday filled out survey yesterday got test tonight
@tired bay Is the survey the one on workday?

tired bay
#

@pale anchor Nah it’s one that comes in email it is a Microsoft Form

sullen forge
#

Do we actually need to complete Cisco OA in 48 hours ?

patent cloak
#

@mental frigate applied, survey like 2 days later, then OA like a week and a half later

wide solar
#

Was this Propel or Launch program for VMware?

sullen forge
#

@near forge @zinc dune @tight ibex Do we actually need to complete Cisco OA in 48 hours as mentioned in their assessment email ?

tired bay
#

@wide solar Launch

pale anchor
#

I applied vmware 7/26 through referral. Still not heard back

#

wtf

wide solar
#

I applied to Propel. Have not heard back yet. Do you know if what is the difference between the two?

#

Can we apply to both?

mental frigate
#

@wide solar Propel is for MS. Launch is for BS

wide solar
#

I am pretty sure BS can apply to Propel too.

#

it is in the requirement

tired bay
#

Yeah idk what the true difference is pretty similar

lilac geode

snow kayak

mental frigate
#

@blissful canyon can you share the link for the position?

blissful canyon

astral garnet
#

2021 new grad yeah

zinc dune
#

@near forge @zinc dune @tight ibex Do we actually need to complete Cisco OA in 48 hours as mentioned in their assessment email ?
@sullen forge

Idk but take it, it's very easy

mental frigate
#

@blissful canyon did you have to submit the virtual cover letter? What's it?

patent cloak
#

Pretty sure the virtual cover letter was for all non SWE positions

blissful canyon
#

it's a video round. i haven't taken it yet. but common questions like why blackrock? why software engineering? after the coding round

#

i got the coding assessment

patent cloak
#

But the OA is kinda annoying bc they make you use Java for most of it. They said it would take an hour but i took me almost 4 hours bc I haven’t touched Java in a minute. luckily not timed lol

blissful canyon
#

that's what they have mentioned in the description

#

same here

#

haven't used java for a while now

#

@patent cloak what kind of questions should i expect?

patent cloak
#

Yeah they did mark it in the description so it’s kinda on me haha

blissful canyon
#

or things i should get familiar with before taking the OA

patent cloak
#

Just basic knowledge of classes, and manipulating strings, array, hash maps. It’s more kinda tedious data parsing and less algorithm-y

blissful canyon
#

okay that's sad

severe oasis
#

Anyone know when Google plans to post new grad listing? Trying to time a referral

high thunder

Anyone using google ft offers as leverage during return offer negotiations? When does google ft offers even start going out

#

i wanna threaten my company recruiter that I'm In ThE GoOgLE prOcESs but if u give me the guap guap ill sign now!!

high thunder
#

Lol ok

#

You need an actual offer in writing or you’ve got nothing

silver apex
#

Wait no lol at fb if u tell them u have a google final round they’ll up ur signing bonus by 10k

high thunder
#

If ur rockstar intern ask for 100k bonus

marble pond
#

lol if ur rockstar they'll give u 100k in initial offwr

silver apex
#

I thought it was 75k

marble pond
#

75k = meets expectations, greatly exceeds/rockstar = 100k

silver apex
#

No I interned and got a ft offer there this summer 70k = MÁ/EE, 75k is GE

marble pond
#

o i heard from friend that's how it's going to work im going to leverage a startup offer that pays much less and either get 100k bonus and 220k stock or go home

#

$YOLO

#

most ppl dont know how to negotiate but I am the master negotiator 🕵️

#

if they gave 100k initially I could just ask for more stock but now I have to pull the ace up my sleeve 🤡

snow kayak
#

lyft will be having a presentation tomorrow for those in the codepath program

vagrant raft
#

@silver apex if you say that you will sign immediately they usually bump up to 100k according to friends who interned there

#

If you are GE

high thunder
#

Does FB do signing bonus or starting bonus

severe oasis
#

Yes they do a very large signing bonus

#

I thought those were the same thing? What company gives you money before starting

high thunder
#

I’ve heard of both

pale anchor
#

How's BlackRock as a company?'

modest vigil
#

Is HubSpot not sponsoring?

sullen forge
#

Nop

#

They mentioned in their application itself

#

Thats Y may be I got direct reject

silver apex
#

@vagrant raft Yeah, but I heard from some other interns that this year is different and they're not as open to negotiating as before

#

but i have no idea though lol, i didn't get GE

They haven’t opened only internship is open at this point

chrome sundial
#

gotcha ty

tired bay
#

Yeah

pale anchor
#

Is hackerrank question different for every company that uses it?

#

Or do some company uses the same question for all candidate

chrome sundial
#

they usually have a bank of questions to chose from so some will get the same but not everyone

pale anchor
#

they usually have a bank of questions to chose from so some will get the same but not everyone
@chrome sundial So it's pretty much useless to go search for past OA question for a specific company that uses Hackerank?

torn wadi
#

Past OAs could still give you a general idea of the difficulty levels their questions are.

chrome sundial
#

yeah ive done the 2019 and 2020 OA's and they werent far off

#

and if anyone was wondering failed it in 2019 and then got to the final round in 2020 only to fail bc i didnt know sets were a thing and there i was ready for dynamic programming so

#

yeah lol idk fam

buoyant grove
#

my amazon app says completed on university but as draft on amazon jobs , is it fine?

patent cloak
#

That what mine said too and I got an OA. Youre good

fallen iris
#

I emailed them and they said just to refer to amazon university for any student related jobs like new grad/internships

wide solar
#

I applied with a referral and have only amazon.jobs application completed.

#

Do I have to apply in Amazon university again?

blissful canyon
#

I applied on 8/3, still didn't get the OA

#

it says under consideration on the portal

drowsy cloak
#

@patent cloak did you get Robinhood karat interview?

drowsy cloak
#

Anyone applied to Bloomberg?

fallen iris
#

@wide solar when I applied on amazon jobs, it automatically redirected to amazon university so not sure

tepid minnow
#

@wide solar I am in the exact same situation as you and my application didn’t even get redirected to amazon university.

tepid minnow
#

Are you guys aware of any email we can reach out to for Amazon application related queries ?

eager root
#

They reply within 24 hours

#

Anyone who is confused, I asked them regarding this and they told me to apply also to University portal.

tepid minnow
#

Ohh great thanks

near finch
#

Anyone familiar with Amazon OA? Is the first part, debugging, difficult? This would be my first time taking an Amazon OA.

dry walrus
#

Has any other company sent OAs lately?

tired bay
#

@near finch It’s changing like one line of code to make solution work all logic errors time is pretty short so gotta work fast.

torn wadi
#

@tired bay Did you take your OA already?

tired bay
#

Nah took Intern last year @torn wadi

torn wadi
#

@tired bay Gotcha... Were the solutions they gave you to fix pretty lengthy, or was it all just little blocks of code? Can't imagine they're too lengthy if the timeframe is short--

tired bay
#

Nah like 15-30 lines and literally just changing a super small thing it’s not that hard just understand what the code is doing look at output and see where logic is flawed

#

@torn wadi

torn wadi
#

Cool. Yeah, that sounds easy enough, @tired bay. Best of luck when you take it for this year

tranquil rampart
#

does Amazon release OAs as they go - or it’s more like in rounds

tired bay
#

It’s more in rounds/batches @tranquil rampart

tranquil rampart
#

makes sense! thanks @tired bay

#

Any idea when does Intuit open applications for New grad full time?

pale anchor
#

What's the difference between VMware propel and launch?

tired bay
#

Lol tbh I have no idea descriptions so similar

#

Launch specifically states new grads so went for that and propel seemed a little more management than technical but 🤷‍♂️

pale anchor
#

ah ok😄

remote torrent
#

@deft canopy i did the hybrid trading OA

tranquil pebble
#

For people who applied to amazon with a referral. Are you also applying on amazon university?

tepid minnow
#

@tranquil pebble Yes, I did.

#

Because my application did not reflect on the university portal.

wide solar
#

For me, they only redirect me to amazon.jobs.

deft canopy
#

How long does it take robinhood to respond after codesignal?

cerulean pivot
#

was a day for me, id imagine longer now since they have more people to manage

deft canopy
#

Is 762 an insta bye bye score lol

#

What's like the average threshold

#

Or does it depend on resume too

compact patio
#

For the amazon OA's, are all the three parts automated? I had bombed OA1, but they still gave me an invite for OA2

torn wadi
#

I saw in the email they sent that said part 2 would be emailed to you about 10 minutes after you take part 1.

compact patio
#

oh okay, guess I will have to try and ace part 2

torn wadi
#

Good luck!

compact patio
#

thanks!

deft canopy

Part 2 holds the heaviest weight so goodluck

@leaden venture Easy side all the way around

@dry walrus I applied for Launch which is not for Masters students

chrome sundial
#

welp bombed the part 1 of the Amazon OA rip. Last year i breezed through it with time to spare but I couldn't focus on what the problems were asking this time. 😦

tired bay
#

@chrome sundial For real same 😬

#

It was but it was way more complicated than intern one last year

short pilot
#

When giving the OA, is it mandatory to show only our student ID, or can we use any ID?

patent cloak
#

Yeah the new grad Amazon OA part 1 was really tough

forest thicket
#

You have to show your student ID for the Amazon OA?

tired bay
#

Yeah they ask for student ID idk how serious that is whether other ID would work

forest thicket
#

Yeah they ask for student ID idk how serious that is whether other ID would work
@tired bay WELP!!! Now I have to find it 😭😭😭

chrome sundial
#

i solved 2 or 3

#

and knowing them they probably will toss anyone who got less than 6

tired bay
#

@chrome sundial Same boat still got round 2 but def a knock gonna have to crush everything else 😬

short pilot
#

Is there anyone who gave the OA with some other ID other than the student ID?

#

For Amazon OA

chrome sundial
#

they can reject after part 2

compact patio
#

I did, I didn't realize we have to use a student id and used my drivers license

tired bay
#

They just take a picture I doubt they really care

worthy spear
#

Really I remember they can reject even after part 1

#

or unless intern oa is different from new grad?

tired bay
#

I mean it says they can but I doubt they do maybe only 0 right

compact patio
#

Do interns have a second part OA?

tired bay
#

Yeah they both 3 parts Debugging then Leetcode/Leadership Principles then Job Scenario Qs

compact patio
#

ah okay I remember as an intern I didn't get passed OA1

#

never got OA2

worthy spear

It's same for New grad right?

If it was what would you do?

chrome sundial
#

so update - failing part 1 amazon OA can still get you a part 2

i say fail as in a 2/7 (or 3/7 if my last thing went thru but im assuming it didn't)

#

its probably automatic

verbal leaf
#

@chrome sundial was OA1 that tough?

fallen iris

OA part 2 is where the real fun begins

OA1 is not as bad as OA2. OA1 is more language synax/definition whereas OA2 is leetcode

Are there one or two LC questions

anyone interview with asana for new grad before?

blissful canyon
#

got a mail from amazon stating that i will receive the OA soon a couple of hours back, but haven't received the link to OA yet.

#

Did everyone who got the OA receive a similar mail?

slate briar
#

@blissful canyon when did you apply?

blissful canyon
#

8/3

#

i submitted the application on 8/6 though

tired bay
#

@blissful canyon Yeah got that email took like 3 hrs for OA to come

blissful canyon
#

Thanks

keen onyx
#

Anyone on this thread who applied on 8/1 and still haven't got Amazon OA?

#

@blissful canyon what's the status on your University portal after receiving the OA?

slate briar
#

@keen onyx same. Applied 8/1

worthy spear
#

I applied 8/2 and got the assessment already on the 12th

keen onyx
#

Is Amazon using rand()? Because it seems to be working pretty well

worthy spear
#

But yea, I got the email saying OA would come and took several hours (the next day 12:15AM)

keen onyx
#

@slate briar what can we do now? Other than waiting of course

slate briar
#

Yeah. Wait it's random. Today people got OA who applied on 31st. In next iteration we should get it

#

Let's hope

Did you get it? When did you apply?

@keen onyx is it behavioral or coding

tranquil pebble
#

Did you get it? When did you apply?
@keen onyx I haven't yet. Submitted on amazon.jobs on 08/03, submitted on university portal yesterday. I'm guessing it's going to take time for me.

keen onyx
#

@broken venture I haven't got it myself

#

@tranquil pebble how did you even submit on amazon.jobs. When I clicked on Apply I got redirect to University portal

tranquil pebble
#

I applied with a referral. That's where I saw the draft application

pretty sure they use chime when its virtual interview with amazon engineers

barren jungle
#

wait oa3 isnt any of that simulation crap?

tired bay
#

They say it’s simulation but it’s just listening to videos and answering Qs and they give you some code and ask some Qs all static

fallen iris
#

yeah my b i meant after the OA stuff (3 parts) and you move onto the virtual interview, they tend to use Chime

tired bay
#

Chime is whack but gotta use those internal tools 🤣

Amazon portal says "No longer under consideration"
Does that mean they rejected me?

@near forge Even me and my friends have the same status over the students portal.

fallen iris
#

are you guys international students/ require sponsorship?

subtle perch
#

@near forge If it's showing not under consideration then probably it is rejected
@keen onyx I guess so. But they did not send the rejection email as well. Amazon is actually a shit. They don't even know what they are going to do with the hiring process then how are they going to tell it to candidates?

#

are you guys international students/ require sponsorship?
@fallen iris That hardly matters. Amazon is having maximum number of international employees.

fallen iris
#

eh could be a variable you don't know, and they don't usually tend to send out rejection emails but update the portal instead/ghost

subtle perch
#

eh could be a variable you don't know, and they don't usually tend to send out rejection emails but update the portal instead/ghost
@fallen iris I don't agree to it. They don't have any problem sponsoring the candidates. They usually send the rejection email.

@keen onyx I guess so. But they did not send the rejection email as well. Amazon is actually a shit. They don't even know what they are going to do with the hiring process then how are they going to tell it to candidates?

@subtle perch
Have you applied to any other roles in the last 6 months and it has not been reviewed?
@near forge I applied for 2020 New Grad. I cleared all my rounds and got the confirmation email that I would be having my final round very soon but they rejected me in April saying that they are done with their hiring.

tranquil pebble
#

@subtle perch
Have you applied to any other role in the last 6 months and it has not been reviewed?
@near forge is that usually an issue?

#

Should I withdraw my pending applications? I mean the applications are not even reviewed.

near forge
#

Not sure, I have other apps that are rejected or not reviewed so I thought maybe its because of that

subtle perch
#

Secondly, yes I have applied to multiple roles through referral but I haven't received any assessment from their side. Even my friend who did his internship from Amazon last year even his application is rejected for 2021. This is shear bullshit. Worst hiring process by a company.

worthy spear
#

Maybe it's because of the visas?

fallen iris
#

I applied to 3 other roles from March-May but still got the OA for 2021 grad

blissful canyon
#

@blissful canyon what's the status on your University portal after receiving the OA?
@keen onyx shows "under consideration". i applied through amazon jobs not through the university portal because of the referral

subtle perch
#

Maybe it's because of the visas?
@worthy spear There are international students who have got coding assessment.

tepid minnow
#

@blissful canyon You didn’t have to apply again via the university portal ?

#

I applied thought a referral as well and they still asked me to apply again through the university portal

#

when I emailed them

blissful canyon
#

no i didn't apply again

subtle perch
#

I applied to 3 other roles from March-May but still got the OA for 2021 grad
@fallen iris That's what my point is. It's just luck. No one can argue them over this because they won't be giving any feedbacks for your application.

tepid minnow
#

and the application didn’t even reflect on your university portal ?

#

You still got the OA ?

blissful canyon
#

i don't know. i didn't login to the university portal.

tepid minnow
#

Ahhhh cool thanks

blissful canyon
#

well i havent yet received the oa

just got a mail that i will get the OA soon, don't know what that means

8/6 is when i submitted

they have mentioned a bunch of deadlines in the mail though

Did anyone get OA3 after finishing OA2? I only got 1 out of 2 questions in 0A2, but not sure if it's enough to move on

tranquil pebble
#

How was OA2? @compact patio

blissful canyon
tired bay
#

@blissful canyon No idea but you do have BA/BS so I guess 🤷‍♂️

compact patio
#

Both my questions involved array lists, i'd say 1 easy and 1 medium. I passed everything in the first question but second question getting the wrong outputs for all cases @tranquil pebble

worthy spear
#

@compact patio were you allowed to use any programming language to do it not just c/c++/Java

compact patio
#

I completely forgot to look as I am so used to Java. But according to the email it's those languages + python so I'm pretty sure those 4 were the only options

azure ember
#

@compact patio Sorry if I missed this, but could you tell me how difficult was OA1 and OA2?

compact patio
#

OA1 is not difficult as it is simple one or two line bug fixes but time was a huge issue for me so that's what makes it somewhat difficult. My OA2 were both on array lists i'd say one easy and one medium

azure ember
#

Alright

keen onyx
#

WTF is with Amazon? Can't they have a single portal on which students can apply? Why create the unnecessary confusion and have postings on both University portal and Amazon.jobs

compact patio
#

I think the Amazon.jobs posting for new grad leads to the university page

keen onyx
#

I know. I applied there already. But people who got a referral applied on Amazon.jobs and then on University portal still got the OA and all earlier than people who applied only on University portal

lucid kestrel
#

I have only applied to amazon university portal. Didn't apply on amazon.jobs. Will that be fine?

keen onyx
#

At least this is what I know.

#

@lucid kestrel this is the same doubt I have. Can anyone here answer this?

#

@keen onyx Did you apply via referral or just the career site?

I have not applied via referral

For amazon, I got a referral and they only redirect me to amazon.jobs as well.

haven't received OA

keen onyx
#

@wide solar when did you apply?

torn wadi
#

@lilac geode I think it is fair to say you're actively interviewing. I've heard of people adding onto that saying they could be receiving offers in X amount of weeks, but to me I think that's hit or miss... Some companies could interpret that as a negative. Depends how you word it... and how far along you are in another company's interview process

wide solar
#

@keen onyx 8/6

@torn wadi like I have a return offer for full time Apple but I don’t think they’ll give me much time to accept but I still wanna try to get offers from other companies too before I decide if I accept it

People who took amazon OA, are the leetcode amazon OA questions up-to-date?

#

dont do stripe oa

#

rn

#

their inputs r broken lool

#

:')

sage fog
#

They don't use separate versions of python do they

scenic tusk
#

@cerulean pivot how so?

cerulean pivot
#

hackerrank expects input to be given in:

number of lines of input
...actual input...
#

they didnt have number of lines of input

#

so in my func when i tried printing out input_lines it was only like 2 lines because the first line stripe had was 2 and it wasnt relating to the number of lines in the total input

#

was only referring to a subset of the input

#

or maybe im just rly bad

#

dont think so tho

#

i copied/pasted example input they had on the OA and pasted it into the custom test case thing on hackerrank and thats how i found out lol

#

i got the oa yday at 6 pm

scenic tusk
#

Yeah idk, I’ve definitely seen problems where they don’t specify the number of input lines so you have to do something like

#

while(scanner.hasNextLine())

#

or something like that

#

definitely not preferable input though

cerulean pivot
#

oof yeah

#

just remembered i copied/pasted my code into vscode

#

hackerrank has a main func that does
const input_linesCount = parseInt(readLine().trim(), 10);

when readLine is invoked, it goes to the next line in stdin

#

and then the main function iterates for that number reading from stdin, then passes the str array into the function i worked on lol

#

ok i feel less crazy now

#

also why dont they just use a while loop for populating the input array

#

lmao

random knot
#

why don't you just read everything as a single string

#

and split on new lines

i wasnt responsible for this implementatino

If that's the case then I am guessing the cut off would be high during the initial stages so they can estimate how many ppl go to the second round and adjust the cut off accordingly or vice versa. Just taking a wild guess tbh

How many positions can I apply for Microsoft at the same time? What is the chance to get OA applying without refferal?

Anyone got anything for Facebook - University Grad?
@keen onyx
i applied via referral and they havent started interviewing quite yet i think? the recruiter email wasn't super clear

keen onyx
#

@tender dune it opened and I applied but it's not even in my Active Applications now. Microsoft can't even handle their own systems 🤣

#

@chrome sundial What was written in the mail? They haven't started interviewing but have they started reviewing the apps?

chrome sundial
#

will take screencap one sec

#

@keen onyx ^

#

like they just finished 19/20 hiring?

#

what?

#

unless they mean in general idk

keen onyx
#

From what I understand the'll begin hiring for the next year in late August/September.

chrome sundial
#

i thought they had apps up for that already though

keen onyx
#

This is not a general mail. You got past the resume screening round atleast

#

Congrats!!

chrome sundial
#

yay ty!

keen onyx
#

@chrome sundial you're talking about the link for Uni Grad right?

chrome sundial
#

Anyone did Akuna python phone screening?

marsh comet
#

junior dev?

nova gyro
#

Yeah

marsh comet
#

yep

nova gyro
#

Is it a normal behavioral/leetcode type interview?

marsh comet
#

was easy, i guess 3 coding + 9 MCQs

#

yeah the coding questions were easy. 2 Med LC and 1 easy

nova gyro
#

lol they ask MCQ on the phone?

marsh comet
#

lmao nope, got confused. was talking about the OA

#

sorry, my bad

nova gyro
#

haha npp

#

Anyone know the format of the Akuna phone screening then?

keen onyx
#

You got a phone screen?

#

@nova gyro

#

I gave OA for Dev Infra, but haven't heard back from them. It's been a week

nova gyro
#

yeah scheduling mine, i did OA for python 3 weeks ago

keen onyx
#

Cool. There's still hope for me then

vagrant raft
#

What is going on with Akuna? I heard they significantly decreased their new grad offers.

#

Is the firm not performing well?

keen onyx
#

I don't think trading firms at that level can ever perform poorly. Are you talking about intern conversions or normal application new grad offers? @vagrant raft

vagrant raft
#

Someome on blind said that the new offer for this year is 120/25/30 which is far less than the 150/50/50 they were giving last year

#

Not sure if this is true or not

#

Just a rumor

#

@keen onyx

tired bay
#

I mean not matter the business you re-evaluating budget in this climate so 🤷‍♂️

keen onyx
#

WTH that's normal tech TC. Finance TC is always way higher. But anyway, it's still well paying. I hope it's just a rumor

#

Can be sad about this once I get an offer 🤣

#

How much time did you get to do the 2 questions?

tired bay
#

35 each I think

#

Question Video Question Video

pale escarp
#

about 30 mins each

#

the questions werent bad but I just got off my internship and did the robinhood coding challenge shit right before

#

so i wasn't in the mood

#

these companies can suck my left nut for thinking they can make you go through like 5 hours of interviews for a job outta college

tranquil pebble
#

Haha. The competition is crazy.

pale escarp
#

jp morgan had u do some weird ass mind game too

#

so I acted as sociopathic as I could and got an instant coding challenge

#

since ya know theyre a bank and all

winged kelp
#

Yeah I feel like I kinda failed the pymetrics thing...

#

slow ass reaction time

tired bay
#

I was kinda glad it didn’t let me retake from last year cause that’s big waste of time

pale escarp
#

yall gotta watch the big short

#

#

lmao

sullen forge
#

oof yeah
@cerulean pivot So while reading the input , we need to check if(scanner.hasNext()) or do we get number of lines as first input for Stripe OA ?

coral coral
#

these companies can suck my left nut for thinking they can make you go through like 5 hours of interviews for a job outta college
This seems like a weird mindset when 5 hours of interviewing can decide where you work and your pay for the next 2 - 4 years of your life

yea so much on the line

Wonder if they're doing manual review of OA1/2... Maybe that could be why no one seems to be getting OA3 yet?

If anyone's waiting for GS and already has another offer in hand, do not reach out to the recruiter asking them to expedite the process. I reached out to them and they straight up rejected me.

barren jungle
#

nahh buddy dont take it personally, its mass reject day at GS today

tepid minnow
#

Hahaha yes, I know that but I already had an internship offer from them for Summer 2020 and my recruiter specifically emailed me saying that there is no way to expedite this process and we won't be able to do it before your offer deadline. I just saw someone asking this question earlier in the group so thought I'd inform.

barren jungle

when is your deadline? congrats on an offer btw
