Havent started yet.
they haven't mentioned anything in email ?
Yeah so it's the same
same
Debug 7 qs
as last year
Yep they're pretty basic
Anyone take VMware yet?
VMware was pretty easy. Basic DS multiple choice questions and an easy and medium LC
@patent cloak how long did it take for you to get an OA post application?
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
I applied Monday filled out survey yesterday got test tonight
I applied Monday filled out survey yesterday got test tonight
@tired bay Is the survey the one on workday?
@pale anchor Nah it’s one that comes in email it is a Microsoft Form
Do we actually need to complete Cisco OA in 48 hours ?
@mental frigate applied, survey like 2 days later, then OA like a week and a half later
Was this Propel or Launch program for VMware?
@near forge @zinc dune @tight ibex Do we actually need to complete Cisco OA in 48 hours as mentioned in their assessment email ?
@wide solar Launch
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?
@wide solar Propel is for MS. Launch is for BS
Yeah idk what the true difference is pretty similar
Anyone knows how refferal works for Bloomberg?
Oof just got Facebook reject w referral
@lilac geode Sad 😦 When did you get referred?
A week ago @visual beacon
fb recruiter reached out to me after ref
referred (17-07-2020)
recruiter emailed me (28-07-2020)
what team are you going for?
@near forge , It was pretty easy
@tight ibex Hey did you get it for USA?
fb recruiter reached out to me after ref
@astral garnet even i got the rejection within a week
anyone here took the blackrock assessment yet?
fb recruiter reached out to me after ref
@astral garnet 2021 new grad?
@blissful canyon can you share the link for the position?
it is the new grad position
2021 new grad yeah
@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
@blissful canyon did you have to submit the virtual cover letter? What's it?
Pretty sure the virtual cover letter was for all non SWE positions
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
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
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?
Yeah they did mark it in the description so it’s kinda on me haha
or things i should get familiar with before taking the OA
Just basic knowledge of classes, and manipulating strings, array, hash maps. It’s more kinda tedious data parsing and less algorithm-y
okay that's sad
Anyone know when Google plans to post new grad listing? Trying to time a referral
@astral garnet got email from fb this week saying they haven’t started looking at apps yet
Can anyone please share the job posting for VMWare - Masters role?
I couldn't find one.
Did anyone face an issue with the BlackRock application ?
I applied and then it was written that I’ll have to appear for a coding test but I didn’t receive any email or anything with the link ?
Anyone else who faced this problem, it’s been 2 days.
It's been 10days I applied to VMware through Jumpstart I haven't heard VMware since then :(
Did anyone ever got acknowledgment after they applied for roles through jumpstart.me ?
it took more than 10 days i think to hear back from them ffor me
have u got interviews anywhere else @astral garnet
yeah I have a bunch
@astral garnet Could u please tell the name of the companies which are actively hiring?
Or the once which u have got interviews from
akuna, asana, bloomberg, databricks, facebook (I assume eventually), HRT, IMC (failed interview), IXL, quora, robinhood, roblox , volean group
Nah my conversion interviews are August 25th
HRT then akuna/IMC then databricks
iunno to be honest I haven't really researched into the companies
@high thunder 👁️
I just know I want HRT lul
why
@astral garnet Did you apply for MAsters roles at all of them?
akuna, asana, bloomberg, databricks, facebook (I assume eventually), HRT, IMC (failed interview), IXL, quora, robinhood, roblox , volean group
@astral garnet
I'm a bachelor's undergrad
Can someone share Jumpstart link of New Grad openings
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!!
Wait no lol at fb if u tell them u have a google final round they’ll up ur signing bonus by 10k
If ur rockstar intern ask for 100k bonus
lol if ur rockstar they'll give u 100k in initial offwr
I thought it was 75k
75k = meets expectations, greatly exceeds/rockstar = 100k
No I interned and got a ft offer there this summer 70k = MÁ/EE, 75k is GE
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 🤡
lyft will be having a presentation tomorrow for those in the codepath program
@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
Does FB do signing bonus or starting bonus
Yes they do a very large signing bonus
I thought those were the same thing? What company gives you money before starting
I’ve heard of both
How's BlackRock as a company?'
Is HubSpot not sponsoring?
Nop
They mentioned in their application itself
Thats Y may be I got direct reject
@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
Is there a way to check your application status for Facebook?
Microsoft Security Clearance (DOD/Gov Cloud stuff) SWE opened
any new grad openings recently?
Microsoft new grads open this saturday
Yeah regular SWE for Microsoft coming soon and would expect same for Google since they dropped internships this week
majority of companies are on hiring freeze😣
i heard some news about hiring freeze but seems to be a normal hiring season so far
so don't worry
there havent been much openings yet😣
big 4 opens this month, amazon already open
September
Twitter applications might open in October
^ 1 oct 2020 says on TwitterU recruiting on twitter
listening to this twitter intern panel and 😭😭
there really is no hope getting into twitter for me
Bruh
? why is this person still here
i heard they have a 90% acceptance right
if you add 88 to the actual percentage that is...
Twitter has scheduled me for two interviews and canceled both of them in the past
Got Amazon OA
did anyone hear from citrix
Had anyone heard back from Goldman Sachs after completing the OA?
@tired bay when did you apply?
How? Application was out on 31st. Did you apply through link directly? Also what was your application status? Thanks
Yeah I applied when everyone was sharing link in here and application status never changed
@slate briar
good to hear @tired bay Thankss
i think amazon is sending OAs in batches
is there anyone who hasn't received OA yet.? I applied on 31st
oh okay
@tired bay Thanks
I hadn't heard anything since my GS OA, so when I checked my application, they said it was rejected 🙃
I applied to Amazon last week & got the email about the OA tonight
Has anyone does Robinhood's phone interview with Karat?
@cerulean mist Nope and felt I did good on that OA
@tired bay oof
I hadn't heard anything since my GS OA, so when I checked my application, they said it was rejected 🙃
@forest thicket big oof... I've been checking a lot and it hasn't changed
Got Amazon’s OA earlier tonight. Applied on 8/6
got the email saying they will send it but I haven't gotten it yet
I took 90 minutes in between the emails for me
They haven’t opened only internship is open at this point
Yeah
Is hackerrank question different for every company that uses it?
Or do some company uses the same question for all candidate
they usually have a bank of questions to chose from so some will get the same but not everyone
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?
Past OAs could still give you a general idea of the difficulty levels their questions are.
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
my amazon app says completed on university but as draft on amazon jobs , is it fine?
That what mine said too and I got an OA. Youre good
I emailed them and they said just to refer to amazon university for any student related jobs like new grad/internships
I applied with a referral and have only amazon.jobs application completed.
Do I have to apply in Amazon university again?
I applied on 8/3, still didn't get the OA
it says under consideration on the portal
@patent cloak did you get Robinhood karat interview?
Anyone applied to Bloomberg?
@wide solar when I applied on amazon jobs, it automatically redirected to amazon university so not sure
@wide solar I am in the exact same situation as you and my application didn’t even get redirected to amazon university.
Are you guys aware of any email we can reach out to for Amazon application related queries ?
They reply within 24 hours
Anyone who is confused, I asked them regarding this and they told me to apply also to University portal.
Ohh great thanks
Anyone familiar with Amazon OA? Is the first part, debugging, difficult? This would be my first time taking an Amazon OA.
Has any other company sent OAs lately?
@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.
@tired bay Did you take your OA already?
Nah took Intern last year @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--
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
Cool. Yeah, that sounds easy enough, @tired bay. Best of luck when you take it for this year
does Amazon release OAs as they go - or it’s more like in rounds
It’s more in rounds/batches @tranquil rampart
makes sense! thanks @tired bay
Anyone do the Belvedere Trading OA yet?
Any idea when does Intuit open applications for New grad full time?
What's the difference between VMware propel and launch?
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 🤷♂️
ah ok😄
@deft canopy i did the hybrid trading OA
For people who applied to amazon with a referral. Are you also applying on amazon university?
@tranquil pebble Yes, I did.
Because my application did not reflect on the university portal.
For me, they only redirect me to amazon.jobs.
How is JP's pymetrics test?
Did you hear back from JP @near forge
Yeah, I got a mail to take the pymetrics test
Pymetrics is just a behavioral game, learn more about how you approach problems and come up with solutions
Today was Dreamworks’ last speaker series, did anyone else attend?
Where do you attend?
It was a virtual event
Got a 762 on the code signal...was doing great till the last question completely bodied me
did anyone give Stripe OA?
Am I the only one who applied on 31st July and still didn't got OA from amazon ?
How long does it take robinhood to respond after codesignal?
was a day for me, id imagine longer now since they have more people to manage
Is 762 an insta bye bye score lol
What's like the average threshold
Or does it depend on resume too
For the amazon OA's, are all the three parts automated? I had bombed OA1, but they still gave me an invite for OA2
I saw in the email they sent that said part 2 would be emailed to you about 10 minutes after you take part 1.
oh okay, guess I will have to try and ace part 2
Good luck!
thanks!
Part 2 holds the heaviest weight so goodluck
Got a 837 on code signal. It has been 2 days since I shared my score with Databricks. Any idea how long do they take to respond?
Did anyone receive OA from Amazon for USA position?
Yup a batch went out last night @subtle perch
Which platform do you guys generally use to search for full time jobs?
did anyone give Stripe OA?
@stuck turtle Did you get OA for Stripe?
Yes
@stuck turtle How long did it take to hear back from Stripe?
2 days
Did anyone give JPMorgan Chase coding challenge?
@stuck turtle How long is the test and how many questions?
Crushed the VMware OA
Crushed the VMware OA
@tired bay Can you please share the job posting for VMware?
Is this for Master's role
Oof got fucked by my 4th codesignal question couldn’t finish in time got 761
@tired bay what was the difficulty level?
Has anyone done a "Silicon Engineering" internship. Do you get to program a little or is it only hardware design ?
Yup a batch went out last night @subtle perch
@tired bay Did you guys apply using referral or was it direct apply through university portal?
Did anyone have a phone interview for Qualtrics?
@lilac geode I feel u! Same thing happened with me
I need to schedule mine should I do latest possible or no
s
@subtle perch Got OA from email where I didn’t have referral
@subtle perch Got OA from email where I didn’t have referral
@tired bay When did you apply? When did you receive the OA?
@subtle perch July 28th, August 12th
@subtle perch July 28th, August 12th
@tired bay Do you know who's application has moved to "No Longer Under Consideration" ?
@subtle perch July 28th, August 12th
@tired bay Thank you for the information. 🙂
@leaden venture Easy side all the way around
@dry walrus I applied for Launch which is not for Masters students
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. 😦
@chrome sundial For real same 😬
It was but it was way more complicated than intern one last year
When giving the OA, is it mandatory to show only our student ID, or can we use any ID?
Yeah the new grad Amazon OA part 1 was really tough
You have to show your student ID for the Amazon OA?
Yeah they ask for student ID idk how serious that is whether other ID would work
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 😭😭😭
i solved 2 or 3
and knowing them they probably will toss anyone who got less than 6
@chrome sundial Same boat still got round 2 but def a knock gonna have to crush everything else 😬
Is there anyone who gave the OA with some other ID other than the student ID?
For Amazon OA
they can reject after part 2
I did, I didn't realize we have to use a student id and used my drivers license
They just take a picture I doubt they really care
Really I remember they can reject even after part 1
or unless intern oa is different from new grad?
I mean it says they can but I doubt they do maybe only 0 right
Do interns have a second part OA?
Yeah they both 3 parts Debugging then Leetcode/Leadership Principles then Job Scenario Qs
It's same for New grad right?
Anybody move on for Akuna while getting 1 of the 4 questions wrong?
@worthy spear Yeah would assume so
🤡
Anyone elses leetcode buggin out
@old kestrel good old target school filter
damn "Other" school
@old kestrel I'm at an "Other" school, yet I got it. Do you have internship experience?
Brett was a googler in the womb
@high thunder wow... maybe I was just lucky then. My internship experience was trash
@deft canopy "We are investigating issues causing site instability. We are sorry for the inconvenience "
I think it was HRT that lets you pick from a dropdown list of like 10 schools
everyone else is from other school
Anyone who got Amazon OA today?
@old kestrel how long ago did u apply for umc?
yesterday night @vagrant raft
lol
they couldnt wait to reject the Other school kid
15 hour turn around
Damn not even OA 😳 Like I got the OA at least maybe they got people they want
whats the imc video interview like, just got it
I applied to vmware through referral and still no OA :/
Just got another rejection from a company I applied to last fall for a summer internship lol what’s going on with these
i have a position under consideration from last 3 months on amazon jobs , Can it affect my new applications ? Should i withdraw ?
If it was what would you do?
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
@chrome sundial was OA1 that tough?
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 here done the haven life round 2 interview?
for an insurance company they seem to ask for a lot in terms of interviews
@verbal leaf tougher than the last intern one but also i just couldn't focus well
i got anxious and did it late at night which was a bad idea
anyone take the IMC coding challenge / what can I expect
Yeah IMC literally how fast can you get this input parsed correctly
anyone did amazon oa2?
@broken venture it's very fast. You get very less time for some questions
Be ready to answer quickly
do you think more batches for the Amazon OA are gonna go out?
or did the rest just get an L
Nah they do a ton of batches over a season
Anybody got a selenium script to keep refreshing the amazon uni page? Lmao
Got to VMware next round 😎
@patent cloak for new grad its 2 LC questions, 70 mins
@pliant steppe yeah there'll still be batches, but it's rolling basis so they're probably just waiting on the batches they sent out? idk
dammm gj @tired bay
Cool when did u finish OA?@tired bay
Yesterday @proper rover
You got an invite to the fall hiring events right? @tired bay
Yeah @bold gull
gl @tired bay
@tired bay is the propel position?
Good luck! Is that the final round?
Any new companies sending out OA lately?
I haven't heard anything from them.
@proper rover Launch
@visual beacon Idk have a call next week to get my questions answered
What does this mean: "This job requisition is not eligible for employment-based immigration sponsored by VMware."? Does it mean its not for F-1 visa holders?
Even if you dont have a student ID, you can still give Amazon OA. Just clarified .
Great news!
Aye just got Apple return offer
Congrats @lilac geode! Do you know if they're posting any new grad positions soon?
anyone who did their robinhood karat interview what was your interviewer's name, Sina?
@torn wadi Could be wrong but I think Apple just post reqs all together and new grad just has BA/BS as requirement like this: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200089608/software-engineer?team=SFTWR
Apply for a Software Engineer job at Apple. Read about the role and find out if it’s right for you.
Ah ok. I suppose that makes sense... @tired bay . I applied to a whole bunch of regular positions a few weeks ago not even knowing if they're "new grad" positions or not lol
@chrome sundial did you hear back after 10 min from taking the OA first part like it said for Amazon?
ah nvm got it
yeah p much @worthy spear
Crushed the JPMorgan & Chase Hirevue always nice when you have seen the problems 🤣😎
anyone interview with asana for new grad before?
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?
@blissful canyon when did you apply?
@blissful canyon Yeah got that email took like 3 hrs for OA to come
Thanks
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?
@keen onyx same. Applied 8/1
I applied 8/2 and got the assessment already on the 12th
Is Amazon using rand()? Because it seems to be working pretty well
But yea, I got the email saying OA would come and took several hours (the next day 12:15AM)
@slate briar what can we do now? Other than waiting of course
Yeah. Wait it's random. Today people got OA who applied on 31st. In next iteration we should get it
Let's hope
do you guys know how often they send these batches?
Amazon's OA1 what? Debugging and logical reasoning?
Amazon's OA1 what? Debugging and logical reasoning?
is what?*
Did you get it? When did you apply?
@keen onyx is it behavioral or coding
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.
@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
I applied with a referral. That's where I saw the draft application
Amazon portal says "No longer under consideration"
Does that mean they rejected me?
I didn't get any mail tho
@stuck turtle how was tha Stripe OA?
@keen onyx havent given it yt
@stuck turtle which platform? Hackerank? Or some other?
hackerrank
For 2021 SDE@near forge ?
@keen onyx yeah
@stuck turtle thanks
What platform is Amazon OA ?
@near forge If it's showing not under consideration then probably it is rejected
@robust juniper usually amcat
@robust juniper usually amcat
@fallen iris for SDE 2021?
@robust juniper yeah
All three of them?
not sure about oa3, if its virtual i think they use Amazon chime?
not sure about oa3, if its virtual i think they use Amazon chime?
@fallen iris ohh. Thanks for the info
OA3 is just a bunch of MC
or like the final interview(s) after the MC
OA3 is just a bunch of MC
@tired bay MC?
multiple choice
Yeah idk what they use after OAs
pretty sure they use chime when its virtual interview with amazon engineers
wait oa3 isnt any of that simulation crap?
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
yeah my b i meant after the OA stuff (3 parts) and you move onto the virtual interview, they tend to use Chime
Chime is whack but gotta use those internal tools 🤣
Amazon portal says "No longer under consideration"
Does that mean they rejected me?
I didn't get any mail tho
@near forge Even me and my friends have the same status over the students portal.
are you guys international students/ require sponsorship?
@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.
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
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 role in the last 6 months and it has not been reviewed?
@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.
@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.
Not sure, I have other apps that are rejected or not reviewed so I thought maybe its because of that
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.
Maybe it's because of the visas?
I applied to 3 other roles from March-May but still got the OA for 2021 grad
@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
Maybe it's because of the visas?
@worthy spear There are international students who have got coding assessment.
@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
no i didn't apply again
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.
and the application didn’t even reflect on your university portal ?
You still got the OA ?
i don't know. i didn't login to the university portal.
Ahhhh cool thanks
well i havent yet received the oa
that helps
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
How was OA2? @compact patio
@torn wadi Could be wrong but I think Apple just post reqs all together and new grad just has BA/BS as requirement like this: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200089608/software-engineer?team=SFTWR
@tired bay Can master's students apply for this role as well?
Apply for a Software Engineer job at Apple. Read about the role and find out if it’s right for you.
@blissful canyon No idea but you do have BA/BS so I guess 🤷♂️
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
@compact patio were you allowed to use any programming language to do it not just c/c++/Java
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
@compact patio Sorry if I missed this, but could you tell me how difficult was OA1 and OA2?
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
Alright
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
I think the Amazon.jobs posting for new grad leads to the university page
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
I have only applied to amazon university portal. Didn't apply on amazon.jobs. Will that be fine?
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
Will telling the companies I’m currently in the process with that I have an offer speed things up
For amazon, I got a referral and they only redirect me to amazon.jobs as well.
haven't received OA
@wide solar when did you apply?
@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
@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
Are you far along in interview stages with anyone else atm @lilac geode ?
@wide solar you'll probably get in the next batch or the one after that
@torn wadi imc and have a Robinhood call scheduled somehow even though my codesignal was ass
@torn wadi imc and have a Robinhood call scheduled somehow even though my codesignal was ass
@lilac geode how much did you score in code signal?
@lilac geode Ah ok, well in that case, I don't think you have much to lose if you mention you have an offer on those phone calls... Just gotta be ok with the possibility of IMC and/or Robinhood deciding not to move forward.
@blissful canyon 761
@torn wadi imc and have a Robinhood call scheduled somehow even though my codesignal was ass
@lilac geode for IMC, how long did you hear back after the online video interview?
I think a week or two
howdy
i signed up for this discord somewhere but i forgot where
hah
anyway I graduate in 2021
@lilac geode you're a lucky man
Anyone got anything after IMC virtual interview ?
Been two weeks for me
@lilac geode what's the next step after IMC virtual interview?
Recruiter call @keen onyx
@lilac geode thanks
be prepared to explain your answer in less than 1 minute for most of the questions @viral pilot
People who took amazon OA, are the leetcode amazon OA questions up-to-date?
They don't use separate versions of python do they
@cerulean pivot how so?
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
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
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
i wasnt responsible for this implementatino
i was asumming my data was given to me when it wasnt
Cisco OA is messed up as well
2 test cases were failing on their application while the exact test cases passed for the exact code in my local
Tried Python as well as Java
same issue
I think you have to make sure to strip() the inputs for Cisco
I believe there was an issue with spacing
DId anyone attempt Blackrock assessment?
How should I deal with return offer that gives 1 week deadline to decide? I haven’t started interviewing for other companies..
DId anyone attempt Blackrock assessment?
@sage grotto For 2021 Program Analyst
did anyone give Stripe OA?
@stuck turtle +1
@sage grotto pretty easy
You also have 4 days to do it with unlimited time
(i.e. you can exit and come back)
When aree Microsoft roles opening up? I thought it was Aug 15th but I havent seen any new roles on their website
Lol people really though they would release roles on weekend 🤣
I was able to pass everything for Cisco in Java
Did you guys apply with a referral @arctic drift @tired bay ?
For Cisco nah @true folio
@compact patio did u get oa3 finally?
No unfortunately I didn't, they said 8 hours but its been over a day. I didn't do to well tho with 4/7 on OA1 and 1/2 on OA2 so maybe that's why
Did you guys apply with a referral @arctic drift @tired bay ?
@true folio nope
Any LA companies with apps open?
No unfortunately I didn't, they said 8 hours but its been over a day. I didn't do to well tho with 4/7 on OA1 and 1/2 on OA2 so maybe that's why
@compact patio
sometimes they send it later than 8-12 hours like they say, so fingers crossed 🤞🏽
Can you use python for Amazon OA1?
no
boo
Are there syntactical/language specific errors or logic errors that you have to debug?
cause havent' used java in while
they are syntactical as well as logical
like say they might have given the scope of loops wrong and you have to correct it
simple stuff
ah ok
Do they allow python for OA2?
yep
Surprised they’re hiring considering they laid off 15% of their staff last quarter
Has anybody taken JP morgan's hirevue yet? How did it go? What were the video questions about?
@tranquil pebble Hella easy for me 2 LC then 2 videos just explaining what u did
@tired bay Thanks. You mean just explaining the approach in the first 2 questions?
Yeah
Nice. Okaay. Thanks.
Pymetrics is fun. haha
I have no idea what Pymetrics tested. It's fun alright, but it just seems pointless.
anyone know how they review OA2 fro amazon? like is it just how many cases or more wholistic
i assume just test cases
just finished OA2 and it wasn't bad but ended one of them on a syntax error and i ran out of time, p sure the approach was right there though
LC med?
anyone know how they review OA2 fro amazon? like is it just how many cases or more wholistic
@chrome sundial It's really random tbh. There's been instances of people not passing all the cases yet still moving on so i have no idea
huh interesting, thx
wonder if they keep like past stuff from like when i did my intern one
last year made it to the last round but feel like i got really lucky - then bombed the last thing ;-;
but i got another one so it was okie in the end
The batch os OAs that come for Amazon. Is it random?
Because I applied on 8/1 and still haven.t received the OA. Kinda worried now
Because I applied on 8/1 and still haven.t received the OA. Kinda worried now
@keen onyx If your applicant portal hasn't been changed to "no longer under consideration" you still have a chance. Seems to be random batches
@fallen iris on the University portal right?
@fallen iris on the University portal right?
@keen onyx yee
Cool. Hasn't changed from Application submitted
Cool. Hasn't changed from Application submitted
@keen onyx
O yeah check spam too if you haven’t already, my friend’s OA was sent to spam for some reason
Will do. Thanks 🙌
How long does it take to hear back after applying to JPMC?
@drowsy cloak 5 days
Did the games test got a coding challenge
Like immediately. Wonder what the point of that was if nobody even gonna look at it
They prob look at it later. Must be used for something
How is Codesignal for Robinhood? Do they ask to use the webcam?
I got survey for JPM after coding
@near forge They record your screen like most lockdown of any platform
How is Codesignal for Robinhood? Do they ask to use the webcam?
@near forge
Varying levels of difficulty for candidates
Record my screen? 👀
I didn't have any recording for Robinhood/Databricks codesignal
Thanks! An hour 10 mins for 4 questions seems like less time.
Yeah my screen wasn’t recorded for Robinhood
Damn well when I did DataBricks I thought they were but maybe not 🤷♂️
Most times for code signal u can finish 2 questions in like 10-15 minutes so timing is pretty decent
That's good to know! I'll probably just take it today then
I was asked to share screen and allow permissions for webcam and microphone before the test
so i am pretty sure code signal recorded the test
This was for robinhood?
databricks
it's the same test
i shared the same results with robinhood as well
anyone heard back after taking the Goldman OA?
Ik for internships they aren't looking at apps till the week of the 24th @uneven isle
Has anyone had technical phone screen for Qualtrics?
anyone heard back after taking the Goldman OA?
@compact patio Nothing yet, I had taken the OA around a month back. Did you?
GS hasn't started reviewing applications yet. I don't think anyone has heard back from them after the OA
Has anyone taken the Stripe OA?
After completing part 1 of amazon OA, when do you get part 2? Their FAQ said you should get part 2 like 10 mins after you complete part 1, if you qualify. I got only like 2/7 in part 1, and haven't gotten part 2 yet so don't think I'll get part 2.
@blissful canyon haven't got it yet. How may days after you applied did you get the OA ?
@leaden venture I got part 2 hella fast with not much correct so just be patient tbh
i got it within 2 days
@blissful canyon Applied with a referral?
@tired bay how many questions did you solve in OA part 1?
Like 2.5
In the CodeSignal practice test I got 783.
What's a good score on that? I couldn't reduce the execution time for the last question
That’s pretty good it’s out of 850 just gotta wait and see cause people have moved on with 750ish scores and some rejected in the 840s for RH 🤷♂️
Thanks!
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
For Amazon's OA1, were you able to run your code to check the corrections?
Yeah you can
Isn't OA1 debugging
yeah OA1 is all debugging, I got OA2 almost 24 hrs after doing OA1
@blissful canyon yeah i took the goldman oa 2 weeks ago. I know some people got a still in consideration email after taking the oa so thats why i was wondering. but i guess nobody truly heard back yet
It's been over 2 weeks since I gave GS OA, no response yet
Same I’ve got two “your application is still under consideration” emails but that’s it
took amazon's OA2 last night and passed all test cases, but haven't heard back yet. Anyone else faced a similar situation?
yeah I haven't heard back since taking OA2 Friday afternoon
@noble nest apart from programming in OA 2? How are the questions related to amazon leadership principles like?
@noble nest , how was the OA2 diff level? Just curious in how much i should prep for it since I got hte OA too
I got two solid level medium questions. Ngl it was pretty tough so prep for as long as your can
How much time is giveen for those two problems?
70 minutes
Anyone got anything for Facebook - University Grad?
@upbeat bronze I got lc med and med/hard, but I know some people got easy
@keen onyx I heard from a senior fb recruiter about forwarding my app to another recruiter, so kinda?
Any one hard from Cisco post OA?
nope
I applied for Stripe but haven't heard back anything from them yet.
How hard/important are google conversion interviews?
how many oa rounds for amazon? 2?
3
Did you get OA3 yet @tired bay ?
and what happens after all the oas?
Ah ok. Good luck with it. I had 2 mediums when I took it yesterday
😄
@old kestrel JANE BELONGS TO THE STREETS
Truuu
Has anyone taken the SAP OA ?
did anyone get Amazon OA3?
Not yet @royal abyss
Not yet @royal abyss
@torn wadi when did you complete your OA2?
Yesterday afternoon.
The email said we'd be receiving OA3 in 8 hours if we "pass", but idk how accurate that timeline is 🤷♂️
Did anyone get an update from IMC after assessment?
@worthy spear yes. Reject 😕. What about you?
The email said 8 hours if I "passed", but idk how accurate that timeline is 🤷♂️
@torn wadi How was the questions? did you complete both?
*were
@keen onyx when?
Today
One question was debatable if it was a lc easy/medium (I would argue medium), but I solved that one. Second one was definitely a medium, that I wasn't able to fully solve but I think I had the right approach. @royal abyss
did anyone get Amazon OA3?
@royal abyss Waiting for a few days then going to email them
Wonder if they're doing manual review of OA1/2... Maybe that could be why no one seems to be getting OA3 yet?
@torn wadi Last year it took them a few days to get back even though they said "8-12" hours, so assuming it'll be the same
Ah, yeah. Likely so...
Has anyone taken the SAP OA ?
@tepid minnow they said they will send OA around 31 Aug and after ... did you get it already ?
@sullen forge , haven't reeceeived it yet.
Just did OA2 one easy(since it was a standard LC) and one medium/hard did brute force but wouldn’t accept wanted some specialized algo that hadn’t really programmed before
does anyone know when microsoft's new grad roles are supposed to open? I thought it was the 15th but seems like that is not the case~
Supposedly they just released intern but site is crashing 😬🤣
Yeah Microsoft is up for new grad
They just released it
Supposedly they just released intern but site is crashing 😬🤣
@tired bay Yeah, can't even get to the portal 🤣 🤣
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
@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?
will take screencap one sec
@keen onyx ^
like they just finished 19/20 hiring?
what?
unless they mean in general idk
From what I understand the'll begin hiring for the next year in late August/September.
i thought they had apps up for that already though
This is not a general mail. You got past the resume screening round atleast
Congrats!!
yay ty!
@chrome sundial you're talking about the link for Uni Grad right?
ye
That job posting stays all year round on their website
ah okay i see
Anyone did Akuna python phone screening?
junior dev?
Yeah
yep
Is it a normal behavioral/leetcode type interview?
was easy, i guess 3 coding + 9 MCQs
yeah the coding questions were easy. 2 Med LC and 1 easy
lol they ask MCQ on the phone?
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
yeah scheduling mine, i did OA for python 3 weeks ago
Cool. There's still hope for me then
What is going on with Akuna? I heard they significantly decreased their new grad offers.
Is the firm not performing well?
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
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
I mean not matter the business you re-evaluating budget in this climate so 🤷♂️
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 🤣
Did anyone give OA for JMPC 2021 Software Engineer position?
just did it @wary basin
Yup @wary basin
How to optimize Valid Binary Search Tree problem with multi-thread? I got asked this in an interview
@pale anchor who asked this?
Asking for questions asked in a specific Online Assessment/Interview; topics (binary trees, strings, etc) are allowed to be shared - specific questions are not
Any inputs on Stripe OA?
^ i got a week to do stripe OA and was wondering how it was
Same. Any inputs are appreciated.
did the robinhood OA, couldnt get the last 2, anyone willing to share their answers for the OA, id like to improve and see where i went wrong
dm'd you @quick void
@winged kelp @quick void How was Robinhood's OA? What kind of questions did they ask?
not worth my time tbh
just took the jp morgan one today as well
that one was 1 easy 1 medium
i straight plagiarized on medium tho
the recording was weird tho
how was jpmc oa
for those who got the cisco oa, what position did you apply for
@snow kayak https://jobs.cisco.com/jobs/ProjectDetail/Software-Engineer-Bachelor-s-Full-Time-United-States/1295249
Apply for Software Engineer Bachelor's (Full Time) - United States job with Cisco in San Jose, California, US. Read about the role and find out if it's right for you.
same here 👍🏾
@winged kelp @pale escarp weren't you being recorded while doing the coding questions? 😮
only the webcam was on
but idk if they were recording
but they recorded u talking about ya code after
Right. I was wondering if they record you while you're doing the coding problems.
How much time did you get to do the 2 questions?
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
Haha. The competition is crazy.
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
I was kinda glad it didn’t let me retake from last year cause that’s big waste of time
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 ?
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
Lol someone posted the amazon OA on leetcode
Has anyone taken the amazon assessment for full time role?
Weird experience with amazon OA today
Does referral help for Citadel?
Wonder if they're doing manual review of OA1/2... Maybe that could be why no one seems to be getting OA3 yet?
@torn wadi We need to mail them if we didn't get the OA within 24hrs. It was mentioned in the end of my OA2
Stripe OA general overview?
Did anyone get OA3 yet? It has been 3 days for me after OA2.
Anyone got Amazon OA 1 after the last batch?
Did anyone get OA3 yet? It has been 3 days for me after OA2.
@tight ibex still waiting, but I took it on Sunday
does amazon only consider your application if you have not applied to any other role in last six months ?
@royal abyss Have you emailed them then?
@tight ibex Still waiting as well. Took OA2 2 days ago.
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.
nahh buddy dont take it personally, its mass reject day at GS today
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.
when is your deadline? congrats on an offer btw
Just checked Goldman Portal and I’m moving on 🙌
whats your status?
Selected for Hirevue Interview said should get email in next day or so
@barren jungle deadline in 2 weeks from now, Thank you.
Have anyone used referral website to pay for referral? Any particular website recommended? TY!
Maybe rooftopslushie
guys, if you run out of time during the hackerrank and you dont have time to click submit on the question you were working on, does your work on that question still get automatically submitted ?
Yes
Has Two Sigma New grad role open yet? I saw it on the github repo but couldn't find it
@royal abyss Have you emailed them then?
@torn wadi yes emailed them, I Will let you know their response.
Cool. Appreciate it @royal abyss
Anyone registered for Tapia conference?
I might register for it but currently I’m only in the resume database. Just heard from Atlassian. @steel drum
does amazon only consider your application if you have not applied to any other role in last six months ?
@buoyant grove does anyone know about this?
i always thought it was when you interviewed (passed resume screen) you had to wait 6+ months to apply for the same role again but honestly can’t be too sure
Honestly, just apply regardless @buoyant grove . What's the worse that could happen? lol
what is Karat?
Honestly, just apply regardless @buoyant grove . What's the worse that could happen? lol
@torn wadi lol
@snow kayak oh nice. I am also in the resume Database, (never heard from any company though😅) so I'm thinking to register for it
I just heard back this weekend (it went to spam) so I’m sure more companies will start to reach out!
Cool. Appreciate it @royal abyss
@torn wadi Hello Akhil,
Thank you for reaching out and informing us. Our team is currently looking into this and will reach back out once we have an update.
Reply from them
I just heard back this weekend (it went to spam) so I’m sure more companies will start to reach out!
Hey @snow kayak
I became aware of the tapia conference-student resume database after your message. Can we even update our resume once we submit?
Yeah, you should be able to update as often as you like.
what is Karat?
@old kestrel 3rd party technical interviewing company that some companies will use as part of their interview process
Just now received OA for VMware propel. How difficult was it if anyone gave the assessment already?
I got 845 on code signal
For robinhood
Lol
Do you all know when it’ll stop pending by?
When you get 850. ( should be soon tho that’s a near perfect score)
Wait @high thunder did u do USACO/code jam?
Candidate who are applying to Microsoft. Are you using any refferal or applying directly to there career page?
I got 847 and I thought I was booking it
Do you all know when it’ll stop pending by?
@worthy spear Usually gets verified within a day or two
Lol I’m concerned cuz my deadline is in 2 days cuz I procrastinated
So I’m concerned it’s not gonna get verified in time
deadline for an offer or for the Codesignal?
@drowsy cloak I heard you have to apply through the career page even with a referral
For codesignal
Lmao I actually spent the longest time on question 2 cuz I had some wack indexing lol
Aight cool
Thanks
As long as you shared the results, ur good
Ok awesome
And it’s the most recent result right? Cuz I had a result from a month back that was a bit lower
Yup
i cancelled my interview bc i thought it wouldnt be back online in time
was out since 6 am
I had a lower score from the year before and it sent my most recent one
@worthy spear never competed in USACO. Wrote a problem for them though.
Only got to round2 in GCJ.
Only 1900 on Codeforces.
I’m pretty mediocre at competitive programming, generally..
Nice GCJ round 2 is pretty solid
I haven’t done comp programming since college lol
But I did do kinda good I was like 1200 in GCJ round 1
@pale escarp Did you have a form to fill out after codevue?
apparently Akuna had tons more applications this year
Any insights on Akuna phone screen for Infra Dev ?
Not yet @worthy spear . When did you take OA2?
Ah interesting...
JP morgan was pretty easy for the hireview coding
Did anyone get SAP?
Yes
Yes
@tepid minnow Was it the SVNT program?
got this now
@worthy spear I haven't received OA1 yet. Could I email them to ask what's up?😅
Anyone do Palantir “Flood Map”
@tepid minnow I thought SAP was supposed to be released on the 31st
Yes, the SVNT program
So there are 2 positions, 1 is the 2020 SVNT and the other is 2021
The 2021 is supposed to come post Aug 31st
but the 2020 one is already out and infact they have filled the Data Science position already
but the 2020 one is already out and infact they have filled the Data Science position already
@tepid minnow Oh. I didn't know we could apply for the 2020 poisiton as well
I applied because I am graduating in Dec, 2020 and the start date is Jan 11th
So people who are graduating in Dec, 2020 should definitely apply
Is there a Data Science repo like there is for SWE?
I applied because I am graduating in Dec, 2020 and the start date is Jan 11th
@tepid minnow Oh. Okay.
Did you give the OA yet? How was it?
How do you guys answer "Why do you want to work here" questions?
Any new companies which are sending out OA?
I applied twice but they rejected me, not sure why. 😦
Launch or Uni Propel ?
VMware
@keen onyx I hope this is launch program ri8?
Any pointers for me before I take the Hirevue for JP?
Has anybody gotten anything from VMware yet? (Propel)
@keen onyx Can you please send me the job posting?
I couldn't find one for UniPropel
Can international graduate students apply for JP Morgan ?
Did anyone else receive an email from stripe with an application link where they are asking to apply again ?
https://careers.vmware.com/new-graduates/jobs?keywords=Member of Technical Staff - University Propel&page=1
@keen onyx Thanks
Did anyone else receive an email from stripe with an application link where they are asking to apply again ?
@tepid minnow I haven't head anything from Stripe 😦
Took a week to hear back from Stripe for me
Yup haven’t gotten anything from Stripe
It's been over a week since I applied
Today I received an email saying apply again
Hahaha
So weirdd
It's been more than 2 weeks since I applied no response yet
Same
Does VMWare sponsor?
Never mind above issue is resolved.
Did anyone else receive an email from stripe with an application link where they are asking to apply again ?
@tepid minnow I did. Just did the whole thing again.
Just completed JPMC's OA. Can't get easier than that.
Lmao fr 🤣
I'm not good at tough interviews, but I'm not sure how they're going to choose among thousands of people who completed the OA.
Lmao yeah I finished in 12 minutes was wild
Anyone had luck finding referral for more niche company?
ie: Two Sigma, Citadel, unicorns
idk how much referral help, but I can't find anyone to refer me
Anybody heard back after Robinhood's karat interview?
i just did mine yesterday @royal abyss do they take a while?
@pale anchor don’t wait for referral
Is the IMC codility test proctored?
no @wind summit
Thanks!
Any update regarding amazon OA 3?
Got an email from GS saying their NYC headcount is getting limited and asking if id be willing to work in Dallas or Salt Lake City instead
DFW area is a nice place to live-- @lilac geode
@lilac geode did u hear back after hirevue or OA or even next step?
I have been to their Salt Lake City campus for my interview, It's located in downtown and is pretty good as well.
@proper rover after oa
Just responded saying only really want nyc, we’ll see what they say. Also told them about my return offer and that I don’t have a decision deadline yet so we’ll see if they reject cuz of that.
Interesting didn’t get that email but got HireVue
Maybe hirevue people are the ones filling the nyc spots?
Me and @worthy spear have been waiting for last round of imc forever😂
Yeah idk I apps in for NYC and Dallas so maybe that’s why
So what’s your status for these two location ?
@lilac geode should we try contacting a recruiter?
