Are there new grad embedded / OS / systems roles or is that typically a more senior endeavor?

This sounds ridiculous, but my uni is all systems no services 😩

[rain flax]

Sorry I’m from intern channels but did people get amazon rejection

Just like now??

[wind acorn]

Doesn't look like it @rain flax check #2021_grad_process

[digital carbon]

@rain flax scroll up a little

[rain flax]

Yeah I didn’t get offer or anything but today it submitted a software development engineer intern - Bay Area and moved my app to moved to another job

So I was a little bit surprised

[candid garnet]

@rain flax yup me

I got a reject from Amazon after my VI last week.

On amazon university dashboard it says application moved

and shows status as application submitted

with DSE - greater seattle area

what does that mean?

Can anyone please help?

[rain flax]

uhhh

Just wait until tomorrow

it seems like you got an offer but they made some glitch

[torpid heron]

@torpid heron had mine couple weeks ago, ghosted until I emailed the recruiter today and got the rejection
@quick burrow Damn sorry to hear :/
Which role was it?

[unreal jewel]

I signed an amazon offer a few weeks ago and then just got a rejection email a few minutes ago. Anyone experience this?
@thin sedge Is this return or intern?

[candid garnet]

it seems like you got an offer but they made some glitch
@rain flax 😟

[rain flax]

I’d just wait:(( seems like they made some mistake

I’m in the same position as you are

[candid garnet]

Have you sent email to recruiter?

[thin sedge]

@unreal jewel new grad

[unreal jewel]

new grad not return ?

[rain flax]

Have you sent email to recruiter?
@candid garnet no I don’t have a single amazon contact LOL

[unreal jewel]

thats so weird

[thin sedge]

No return. I think it they probably made a mistake when sending it.

Amazon emailed me, it is an error

Fr thought i got pipped for a second

[rain flax]

Amazon emailed me, it is an error
@thin sedge did anyone else receive email

[unreal jewel]

What location @thin sedge and you going to take it? When does it expire btw

[candid garnet]

@thin sedge when did you get the email about error?

[thin sedge]

@unreal jewel Irvine, CA and it expires November 1

@candid garnet 10:15

[candid garnet]

@rain flax you a new grad?

[rain flax]

no :(( I’m just looking for internship!

[remote gazelle]

[iron gate]

[quick panther]

[iron gate]

gotcha thanks! where'd you hear that from?

[real prism]

Can confirm recruiter called me today about it ^

[quick panther]

hopefully roblox hires me i'm so sick of final rounds

[iron gate]

@real prism when was your technical interview?

[torpid heron]

@quick burrow can I DM you?

[real prism]

Had it Monday exactly a week ago

[iron gate]

ah, I had it Tuesday two weeks ago so I'm hoping they'll reach out this week

[real prism]

They should be since I did all virtual on sites wrapped up last Friday

[rapid pelican]

Hi everyone
Is solving Amazon Explore questions from Leetcode before Amazon Interview, sufficient to get past it. I have previously practiced a lot too. But given less time, is this approach okay? And has someone tried this before?

[restive cairn]

https://www.glassdoor.co.in/Reviews/Citadel-Reviews-E14937.htm

why is citadel having so bad reviews

🤔

[fiery python]

mo pay, mo work

[worthy spear]

has anyone used the "reschedule interview" portion of the job portal on Bloomberg?

I kind of want more time to prepare, but don't want my phone screen to be canceled or for headcount to run out

is the initial phone screen difficult?

[blissful adder]

I kind of want more time to prepare, but don't want my phone screen to be canceled or for headcount to run out
@worthy spear i did to bump mine up actually, doesnt seem to actually reschedule until you actually confirm but idk about headcount that sorta worries me too

[exotic cave]

Did anyone just never receive a response from Amazon? Like not even a confirmation email for your application?

[warm jolt]

Anyone have any experience with how roblox does their hiring process?

I did their OA a month ago and I just got an email to set up two more technical rounds

[empty crane]

For bloomberg's system design interview, is it more object oriented design (designing a class) or do they ask more architecture questions (like caching, messaging, databases, load balancers)?
@eager glacier depends on the interviewer, i got an OOD but must people i know got architecture questions

[spice belfry]

@eager glacier depends on the interviewer, i got an OOD but must people i know got architecture questions
@empty crane is this for a specific system design interview? or for the two technical rounds

[empty crane]

System design. For technical round is mostly lc med though some of their questions are OOD like.. think leetcode bloomberg tagged question are good place to start for technical rounds

[cerulean pivot]

ye

[earnest mist]

Can anyone give me the email of a roblox recruiter?

If you can please dm me.

[cerulean pivot]

if ur asking a vague question

doubt it

[pallid pilot]

@warm jolt it's onsite with two technicals and then another round that is with a hiring manager I believe (although I think everyone on here is still waiting to hear back after onsites so the details of the next round can't really be confirmed for sure yet but we know there is one)

[dark frigate]

If you take a code signal OA but do worse on it than one of your previous score can you submit the previous score?

[winged patio]

Any advice for Bloomberg virtual interviews?

[stiff ivy]

Anyone take palantir typosquatting challenge?

[dark frigate]

@winged patio Study graph algorithms

[blissful adder]

@winged patio Study graph algorithms
@dark frigate beyond BFS and DFS?

[feral marten]

You can only use this command in 2021_grad_process or 2021_intern_process

[winged patio]

@dark frigate for all rounds?

[broken cloak]

hello!! does anybody who has taken the doordash final have any tips/pointers? i'll be doing it tomorrow 🙂

[ornate charm]

seconded^^

[spice belfry]

has anyone heard back from salesforce

[spring verge]

@spice belfry for new grad? They don't really have new grad roles. The ones posted are for return interns

[noble nest]

they had a role that was taken down recently, "Associate Solution Engineer, Success Graduate (Start Date: January 25, 2021)", pretty sure there was no caveat about return interns only but I could be wrong

[spring verge]

Ohhh i see, I was assuming for SWE

[cursive loom]

no new positions opened up anywhere afaik

[patent surge]

nah

NSA re-opened a ton of positions for apps

[cursive loom]

kyle im a risk to national security

[patent surge]

[devout bobcat]

[tranquil relic]

is this twilio oa worth doing?

[devout bobcat]

even if you pass all test cases, you might get resume rejected

[iron gate]

roblox just got back to my email and they said they should be giving up dates in the next few days

[stark otter]

I never heard back from roblox

[dapper dock]

We havent had a new grad posting in 10 days

[warm jolt]

im supposed to set up final interview and my recruiter hasnt been replying to my messages to try and set it up since thursday..

[worthy spear]

Anyone heard back from SpaceX

[tawdry herald]

Anyone heard back from SpaceX
@worthy spear
A recruiter reached out to me two weeks ago asking about my timeline, then ghosted me when I said I had a deadline at the end of the month

[tawdry herald]

Dm'd

[viscid zenith]

Is it normal that for the hiring manager round at Amazon, I had two interviewers (one more SE with the manager for the coding round after behavioral)?

[ornate charm]

Anyone get OA from Redfin? It’s from filtered.ai never seen this

[candid garnet]

YAY! me too
@rain flax Congrats 🥳 🥳

@rain flax @candid garnet what location did yall get?
@signal garnet Seattle

[mighty nebula]

Redfin OA

Anyone get OA from Redfin? It’s from filtered.ai never seen this
@ornate charm just got it

[strong drum]

I just got it too idk if its automated?

[mighty nebula]

They probably resume screened then sent it in a mass email

[queen burrow]

During the bloomberg phone, do they go over resume first?

[winged patio]

Yes

[tired bay]

@queen burrow First phone?

[winged patio]

but quickly

[queen burrow]

@tired bay yep

[tired bay]

Yeah they do quick intro/resume stuff to start

[sullen forge]

Hows Twillio OA ?? Any insights ?

[raw belfry]

Got a HRT phone interview tomorrow

First round, I am guessing just OS stuff right?

[rocky spoke]

wow

i just got a rejection post-onsite, even when in the final interview with the hiring manager he straight up told me they wanted to hire me. anyone else experienced something similar?

[dry mural]

what company @rocky spoke

[night plume]

anyone interview with alarm.com

[urban hemlock]

Hey is the new grad amazon position always for seattle? I saw some ppl get offers for other locations

On my app it says seattle

[viscid zenith]

no. seattle is full

[tired bay]

I feel like in here Seattle has been the least popular location

@urban hemlock

[urban hemlock]

Oh interesting, so what other locations are there

[tired bay]

NYC, Bay Area, DC, Austin

[viscid zenith]

i got options for jersey city, santa clara and arlington, washington

[urban hemlock]

Sweet so you made it passed final round and those were the options they gave?

[tired bay]

They gave me location didn’t pick

@viscid zenith You a return?

[viscid zenith]

no. I just got the results from my onsite and the recruiter asked me location preference. Will get the offer letter tomorrow

i mean offer email*

[urban hemlock]

Which did you pick? @tired bay

I mean did they give you*

[tired bay]

@viscid zenith Interesting

@urban hemlock Seattle

[mental frigate]

@tired bay for which company?

[tired bay]

Amazon @mental frigate

[dry mural]

Wait

did he say seattle is full?

or am i stupid

[tired bay]

Yeah idk about that

[mental frigate]

Anyone got Seattle for bloomberg?

[viscid zenith]

did he say seattle is full?
@dry mural yess it is

[dry mural]

woah

im really surprised

[arctic drift]

never thought there would be a day where Amazon Seattle was full

[viscid zenith]

they don't have any openings there as of now

[arctic drift]

our timeline is truly fucked

[dry mural]

who told you it was full

[arctic drift]

they don't have any openings there as of now
@viscid zenith just gotta wait for someone to be PIP'ed

[dry mural]

@sinful meadow right?

[viscid zenith]

who told you it was full
@dry mural recruiter. i wanted seattle but no space there rn

[dry mural]

wow

well aint that some shit

[mental frigate]

@viscid zenith when did you get your offer?

[dry mural]

can anyone else confirm

im not saying i dont trust you

[tired bay]

I think they want to expand their other locations rapidly over next few years might be a reason as well

[viscid zenith]

1 hour ago

[dry mural]

that also makes sense

personally id take jersey city

[viscid zenith]

im not saying i dont trust you
@dry mural yes please! I also want to confirm

[dry mural]

im only at OA 2

LMAO

@viscid zenith did they offer you any other location

nyc

austin

etc

cuz it seems like you got some of the smaller offices

[sly saffron]

Anyone here completed the SIG quant OA? After how many days do you hear back?

[viscid zenith]

@viscid zenith did they offer you any other location
@dry mural santa clara, arlington-virginia, jersey city only

virtual onsite*

new grad

[urban hemlock]

austin would be lit

[dry mural]

thats mad weird bro

[digital carbon]

Anyone got Seattle for bloomberg?
@mental frigate wat? bb doesn't have a seattle office

[mental frigate]

@digital carbon Seattle/Bellevue

I see many employees there on LinkedIn

[tired bay]

Amazon wfh until June just announced

[digital carbon]

@mental frigate what did you query by? I see people whose locations are set to greater seattle area but they work in one of the NY offices

I've interned for bb twice and this would be the first time I'm hearing about a seattle office lmao

[tired bay]

https://trib.al/0IMmaMD

[mental frigate]

@digital carbon how do you know they work in NY offices if location is seattle? I simply typed in Bloomberg seattle

[digital carbon]

I clicked on their profiles and the location for their BB experiences say NY

[dry mural]

@viscid zenith maybe since its wfh

seattle is filled?

[mental frigate]

@digital carbon didn't find any such profiles. So Seattle is not an option?

[viscid zenith]

ya or maybe most interns have accepted the offer and they got the seattle location

@viscid zenith maybe since its wfh
@dry mural

[sweet vigil]

Does Seattle being full mean that we won’t be considered for any other locations? 😧

[digital carbon]

@digital carbon didn't find any such profiles. So Seattle is not an option?
@mental frigate nope, not an option. There's an SF location but it's very small. Most of BB's presence is in NY and London.

[tired bay]

@sweet vigil You are considered for all locations

[cursive loom]

anyone got a roblox recruiter email?

[viscid zenith]

@tired bay are you working there currently or interned there?

[tired bay]

@viscid zenith Nope never been at Amazon

[viscid zenith]

oh cool. when did you receive your offer?

[tired bay]

@viscid zenith 9/29

[viscid zenith]

@tired bay cool. and you selected seattle?

[tired bay]

@viscid zenith I was given Seattle which I am def cool with didn’t get options

[viscid zenith]

Wow cool. congrats. Thanks.

[snow canopy]

I applied to amazon new grad 2021 on 8/20 and still havent heard anything

is anyone else in the same situation?

@ me

[naive shadow]

yup

still says "application submitted" in the portal @snow canopy

and with referral

I applied mid-August

[snow canopy]

yea same

also had a referral

😦

same with microsoft

[dry mural]

really

thats weird

@snow canopy i applied with ref after you and i have OA rn

what does your university portal say

[snow canopy]

I applied through amazon.jobs I think

And it just says submitted

Should I have used the university portal instead?

[dry mural]

pm me

[cursive loom]

i applied to uni and mine is still app submitted

i have refs too

[dry mural]

@eager glacier yes from my knowlddge

anyone here ever interview with pendo

i would like to know how the 30 min hackerrank interview and onsite is

[sweet vigil]

@snow canopy applied on 7th Aug without referral, still says “Application submitted”

[sly saffron]

Is it possible that Amazon sends OA based on the graduation date?

[wide solar]

Anyone willing to share Two Sigma recruiter email? I would really appreciate it. I tried to reach out the recruiter when I interviewed for internship last year but she did not reply back.

[flint halo]

J.P. Morgan reachout through piazza careers

[hasty sapphire]

Lol failed amazon oa1

Only got 1/7, 16 minutes in I realized there were 7 questions and not just the first one

[cerulean pivot]

dont think it matters that much

someone has gotten offer after getting 1/7 on oa1

[hasty sapphire]

They sent a rejection

[cerulean pivot]

.

their loss

[hasty sapphire]

It's all good. Was kind of a meme moment when I looked at the sidebar and was like oh crap

[ornate charm]

They sent a rejection even tho u took it today?

[cerulean pivot]

i spent 20 mins out of an hour trying to debug why custom test cases werent working on one oa

i didnt read one line in the prompt :)

that wouldve answered my question

it happens to all of us :D

[hasty sapphire]

yea for sure

@ornate charm took it Sunday got the email just recently

Btw thanks for the support @cerulean pivot !

[marble pond]

[sly saffron]

@hasty sapphire Did you receive OA2 and OA3? I thought Amazon sends all the 3 OAs to everyone no matter how you perform.

[hasty sapphire]

No lol I got rejected after oa1

[autumn lynx]

i got rejected oa1 two years ago

[hasty sapphire]

I did leave a comment in the survey after the OA1 but I assumed that was going to the oa company

I basically wrote ' didn't realize there were 7 qs'

[autumn lynx]

u should try contacting a recruiter

who knows

[hasty sapphire]

eh it's okay

[ornate charm]

I really wonder how they pick who gets the 30 min final

[sly saffron]

@ornate charm It is based on your performance in the OAs. They have a secret algorithm,

[ornate charm]

How is the amazon workstyles assessment? Like how can I prep

[tidal hazel]

kinda hard to prep for that, other than reading up on LP, and i guess trying to apply those to every situation you see, but its a test for cultural fit (someone correct me if im wrong)

[placid orchid]

^^ Yeah I would read up on the leadership principles

[dry mural]

what kinda questions do they ask you

iz it like

OA 3 for intern last year

split into 2?

cuz oa 3 for intern last year had that computer simulation you feel me

[placid orchid]

I'm not familiar with the new grad one, but it should be simlar

[dry mural]

or is it like that tyep of

ahhhhh

cuz iirc there was like a questionare thats like choose what is more like you

and its just MC

[autumn lynx]

@ornate charm are u talking about OA3 or OA2

[sharp lichen]

idk I feel the personality questionnaire its obvious to see what the "right" answer is as weird as that sounds

[ornate charm]

Did anyone who got 100 on all amazon OA not get 30 minute final?

I have yet to take my second

@ornate charm are u talking about OA3 or OA2
@autumn lynx 3

[autumn lynx]

Yeah that one was weird

[ember scaffold]

do you have to take different OAs for different locations for Amazon?

[arctic drift]

no

if you're applying through the new grad pipeline

[turbid pelican]

Anyone finished with Akuna Capital's Dev Infra phone screen?

[limber harness]

this clear street project is too dam big

[arctic drift]

Isn’t it supposed to take 3 hours

[quick panther]

it took around 4 for me with testing and stuff

[tepid sky]

is 7/7 oa1 and 14/14, 7/13 good enough to pass amazon oa?

[copper fractal]

is 7/7 oa1 and 14/14, 7/13 good enough to pass amazon oa?
@tepid sky I got similar scores and got OA 3

[arctic drift]

I haven’t done it yet

[tepid sky]

@copper fractal what bout interview?

and how to study for oa3?

[solemn epoch]

I haven’t done it yet
@arctic drift Wrong person sorry lol

it took around 4 for me with testing and stuff
@quick panther were you able to get all test cases?

[quick panther]

@solemn epoch i didn't get 2 cases. tried for an hour but ended up submitting with 2 hidden failing

[rocky spoke]

how long do companies usually give u to respond to an offer?

one startup told me 1 week and i dont know how i should feel about it. wanna get other people's opinions

[hallow ether]

1 week is too short, but i can see why if it’s a startup. I would ask to extend the deadline if you are looking to interview elsewhere. Does your school have any policy that can help you extend the decision deadline?

[rocky spoke]

no idea, never knew schools had policies for these kind of things

[blissful adder]

^

[hallow ether]

Ya a lot of schools make employers give you at least X weeks to respond

[rocky spoke]

didnt know that, thanks for the tip @hallow ether

[quick panther]

if they say no just sign then renege later

[lucid pagoda]

^^

[high thunder]

UCF, the latest target school, only “recommends” at least two weeks

[rocky spoke]

what does it mean to renege exactly @quick panther ?

[quick panther]

just send them an email saying due to personal reasons you won't be showing up to work lol

[night plume]

Rejected after palantir onsite 😦

[rocky spoke]

lol got it @quick panther

[smoky quiver]

@eager glacier same 😭

[rocky spoke]

i have mine next week @night plume

[elfin rivet]

@night plume same 😔 kinda mad they can’t give any feedback and I was told “all the interviewers really enjoyed working with me!!!”

[sharp lichen]

aw :( I think I hear back today

I feel it's a reject too, the system design was rough

@elfin rivet @night plume was it a phone call or email?

[elfin rivet]

@sharp lichen phone call

[sharp lichen]

oh K thanks

[night plume]

Ugh I got email reject

But then they wanna call to give feedback

[sinful hawk]

What's the difficulty of GM Hirevue?

[simple hazel]

what do u guys look for in startup offers? apart from location, comp and equity? im having a tough time deciding between startup offers

[foggy harness]

Has anyone given Amazon's OA2 for new grad SDE recently? I had a couple of questions about it ( Coding and Workstyles Assessments)

[true folio]

dude

same

my final is going on now

loll

choked major

[smoky quiver]

are you doing the tech rounds or design?

[wind acorn]

what do u guys look for in startup offers? apart from location, comp and equity? im having a tough time deciding between startup offers
@simple hazel honestly have been trying to negotiate base

Gotta remember most startups fail

So treat equity as $0

Also look at their product... Which one is more interesting?

[simple hazel]

yeah i get that. i also dont plan on staying long, so just tryna maximize learning and base

its hard to gauge product interest sometimes cause these arent unicorns, so theres no guarantee about the quality of the product without looking at engineering practices, and how they operate.

[opaque dagger]

What does the process look like for Bloomberg new grad? I've done two technicals so far but my recruiter didn't respond when I asked him about the process

[digital carbon]

did you have a phone interview before the two technicals?

[opaque dagger]

No, they were both "on campus" interviews if that makes a difference

[digital carbon]

hmm ok not sure then. usually it's 1 phone interview -> 2 technical interviews -> 1 HR + 1 Hiring Manager round

HR round is behavioral, hiring manager round can be either behavioral or systems design depending on your luck

[opaque dagger]

K thanks! Hope I get behavioral

[rapid pelican]

Is Amazon India only taking students for SDE Intern or FTE also through Campus Placements?

[blissful adder]

anyone have a good youtube series or video on memory optimization?

[glass dove]

Anyone gave Honeywell- Self paced video interview?

[lucid pagoda]

Anyone gave Honeywell- Self paced video interview?
@glass dove How long after you applied did they reach out to you?

[glass dove]

@lucid pagoda I guess a month...not sure though

[lucid pagoda]

Ok, cool. I just applied lol. I'll forget I even did that

[true folio]

@quick burrow dm?

[turbid lintel]

Has anyone interviewed with Apple’s Localization Engineering Team?

[autumn lynx]

this one?

@glass dove

[glass dove]

@autumn lynx Yepp

How was the video interview?

[unkempt echo]

apparently every google office for new grad has filled up except for mountain view, RTP north carolina and an office outside of madison wisconsin

[autumn lynx]

it wasnt a video interview it was literally just asking if youre a citizen or not lmao

[glass dove]

@autumn lynx Just one question? Nothing like why we need to hire you or anything?

[autumn lynx]

nah whered u go to school are u authorized to work here

its also not video

its typing

u dont need to prepare

[ornate charm]

Anyone done 30 min Microsoft round one phone call?

[fast umbra]

Has anyone given Two Sigma hackerrank challenge? What is the difficulty level?

[stoic yoke]

@unkempt echo where did you hear that from? Wow thats tough.

[unkempt echo]

i just had a conversion meeting with my HR person and she told me

Has anyone given Two Sigma hackerrank challenge? What is the difficulty level?
@fast umbra mine wasn't too hard, but everyone seems to have gotten different questions

SWE

I'm interning atm, she told me this in an intern conversion meeting today

[stiff ivy]

can i put Cloudflare under skills on my resume after doing their OA lmao
@rocky moon wait how was this? Is it leetcode hard?

[lucid pagoda]

LMao!

[rocky moon]

[sweet vigil]

Anyone taken Roivant Hirevue? I’d like to ask a few things

[hybrid tapir]

lmfao what is this cloudlfare OA
@worthy spear I’m kinda concerned after reading the glass door reviews. Looks like everyone hates the recruiting there and we gonn get ghosted

[delicate tapir]

Yeah that OA is way too much to just be considered for an interview

[pseudo wigeon]

@sweet vigil yeah i have

[dusky nest]

no postings lol

[tranquil relic]

finally got email for roblox final

[arctic drift]

Same

[real prism]

Bruh 1hr 45 min interview WTF

I thought it would just be a 15-30 min behavioral 😭

[tranquil relic]

i was expecting like 45 min max but almost 2 hours wtf

[arctic drift]

Idk how I'm supposed to talk about my strengths and weaknesses for 2 hours

[tired bay]

Is it with multiple engineers possibly?

[tranquil relic]

yep, hiring manager + other team members. its a "panel interview"

[queen burrow]

Hey guys, I have a bloomberg 1st round phone interview tmr. Will they call my phone or do I need video? Should I expect to do 2 mediums?

[arctic drift]

what if they ask another technical

Hey guys, I have a bloomberg 1st round phone interview tmr. Will they call my phone or do I need video? Should I expect to do 2 mediums?
@queen burrow phone, 2 mediums is usually what happens iirc

[tranquil relic]

im trying to get the prep call by end of week so hopefully ill know a bit more

[sharp lichen]

lmao i filled out the roblox form in liek 30 seconds

hopefully I can get the earliest slots

[arctic drift]

What's a

prep call

[wind acorn]

rip roblox still ghosting me

[real prism]

Really hope roblox is looking to hire a lot of people

Since lots of us moved on

[arctic drift]

I think they're heavily expanding

[tranquil relic]

there are like 50 of these timeslots so

[sly saffron]

@wind acorn Did you get mail after the OA?

[real prism]

Booked one of the earliest time slots if I get the interview I’ll let u guys know how it goes

[sly saffron]

For roblox I meant

[real prism]

Trying to get this offer ASAP to renege JP

[orchid ibex]

Has any done the Roblox final

Have mine in 1 hr

[tranquil relic]

yo im in exact same boat, my jp deadline is nov 1st

[real prism]

Virtual onsite?

[tranquil relic]

this is not intern @orchid ibex

[orchid ibex]

oh mb

[real prism]

@tranquil relic which office?

[orchid ibex]

ty @tranquil relic

[tranquil relic]

columbus 🥴

[real prism]

They made my deadline like 5 days ...

Got offer letter Thursday had to sign. By Tuesday

[tranquil relic]

o mine is intern conversion

[real prism]

Ohhh I see

[wind acorn]

@sly saffron no

just the hackerrank completed email

[sly saffron]

Same with me. Finished the OA over a month ago.

[rose rivet]

anyone have their onsite with Indeed?

[wind acorn]

did you hear back though @sly saffron ?

[vocal carbon]

lol what are the odds that a recruiter will schedule a call to reject?

[wind acorn]

pretty low @vocal carbon i had this same q a couple days ago and ended up being good news

what company?

i heard quora rejects via phone sometimes

[tranquil relic]

thats how they sent out rejects for the vmware onsites recently @vocal carbon

[wind acorn]

yikes

imo that's worse than getting a canned response

[tranquil relic]

yeah, but generally feel like its a good thing

[vocal carbon]

yeah i've only been rejected with "we no longer like you" before

[sly saffron]

@wind acorn nope, they ghosted me as well

[vocal carbon]

would be funny if it's rejection though lol

[remote gazelle]

any thoughts on those rotational development programs that last for 1+ year, are they worth applying for. especially because they last for so long before you are given a regular role

[vocal carbon]

Honestly I think it can be interesting if you're not 100% sure about what kind of role you want to go in

[sharp lichen]

covid is making things hard anyways

why not go for any good opportunity?

[winged patio]

hold up roblox 2 hour final round?

[balmy depot]

Did anyone get any indication if it’s technical? Def sounds scary af if so

[tranquil relic]

same T_T

[balmy depot]

Also roblox is apparently IPOng next year, so makes sense they’re expanding a lot

[vocal carbon]

ooof i had a panel interview for an internship last year, was the scariest thing ever

[balmy depot]

Ok, hope that’s the case, really not down for a second tech

[tranquil relic]

im assuming behavioral as well, maybe some technical details of projects and internships but not more than that

[winged patio]

what are they going to talk about for 2 hours if its non technical

[balmy depot]

Might be situational type things

[vocal carbon]

^Behavioral qns, resume qns, work style, some design choices etc

[balmy depot]

I’ve had some interviews where they explain some scenarios the team finds itself in. And ask what you do

Yeah, that’s prob what it is

We’ve already passed an OA+ 2 Techs. Doesn’t really make sense for a third

[tranquil relic]

yeah answering those types of qs in front of a panel is like a nightmare for me 😄

[winged patio]

Anyone asking for a prep call?

[tranquil relic]

i asked for one for this week

[winged patio]

I can't wait to mess up the behavioral in front of 5 people

[balmy depot]

I still don’t know wtf that is?

[tranquil relic]

yea fr

im guessing just lets you ask any questions regarding the interview

[winged patio]

"what questions am I going to be asked during the interview?"

We can dream

[vocal carbon]

"what answers should i give to get jobz"

[balmy depot]

Hmm, I prob should then. I wonder how long it’ll take for offers/rejects. If they wait until everyone is done (like they did for the final round offers) we’ve gotta wait till mid November...

[winged patio]

I have deadline

[tranquil relic]

yea, i have an 11/1 deadline xd

[winged patio]

Hopefully hear back before then

[balmy depot]

Ah damn, wish I had a deadline!

[winged patio]

@tranquil relic Did you put times on tomorrow

[tranquil relic]

@winged patio no unfortunately not gonna be available for interview tomorrow/fri so i had to do earliest monday

[real prism]

My deadline already passed LOL

[winged patio]

Oh nice inb4 I have 9am tomorrow

[dry mural]

Anyone do pendo.io interviews?

[winged patio]

nice @real prism

Honestly it isn't an offer I want to reneg but also roblox would be epic :l

[tranquil relic]

yea if they dont respond before deadline im just gonna pull out the classic sign/renege 2 hit combo

[winged patio]

damn that's ballsy

good for you

[tranquil relic]

eh, its in location/company i dont see myself working in future so i wouldnt feel too bad

[real prism]

Ideally my scenario is work at JP until summer and switch to roblox so u get two jobs

[winged patio]

Yea that's understandable

[tranquil relic]

yo i was considering the saame thing @real prism since i passed vmware but they dont start till like june/july(?) how bad would it be to sign JP to have some income feb-may and then just quit lol

[winged patio]

I wonder if we are interviewing for specific teams already

[real prism]

@tranquil relic yeah that was my plan. That way I can see if I like working there first. Also I get some income while staying at home. It’ll just be hard to be like sooo I’m quitting guys

I feel like it’s a good way to finesse the situation right LOL

[tranquil relic]

ya exactly, after like 4 months and u just peace out feelsbad but they would prob fire u at moments notice if they wanted to so cant feel too bad about doing that to a major corp

[worthy spear]

does it make sense to continue interviewing if you've already accepted a new grad offer for June 2021. Will you get blacklisted if you renegade?

[tranquil relic]

renegade sounds so intense, but honestly the worst outcome u can expect is to just get blacklisted from the company

imo keep interviewing if you feel like you can get a job thatll make you happier

and dont mind getting blacklisted from the other place

[winged patio]

Until the companies share blacklists 0.o

[tranquil relic]

true 😐

[worthy spear]

can you negotiate a new grad offer later? I'm going to be working as a contractor until then, and will have developed 6-8months of full time experience

[real prism]

Exactly right, JP isn’t even giving me a signing bonus smh so I have nothing to return

[worthy spear]

or should I just stop interviewing for new grad and start interviewing for full time in Feb or something

[tranquil relic]

i mean for the highest amount of opportunity/chance, just keep interviewing for new grad and again for full time in feb, but ik it can be draining af so its ultimately what you want more

[worthy spear]

that makes sense, I like grinding, Imma do that

[tranquil relic]

ur too powerful, this grind is my least favorite thing in the world

[worthy spear]

what aspect of it do you dislike?

[tranquil relic]

id rather spend my free time playing games or watching tv or something lol

[winged patio]

You can negotiate any offer but in most cases you need to competing offer

Do you have a deadline? In my experience amazon likes to take their time so I wouldn’t worry.

Yea they are infamous for it lol I’d say give it another week and if you still haven’t hear back you could email. Most of the time they do stuff in rounds anyway so you can check with people on here who interviewed around the same time.

[tranquil relic]

mine i email to schedule the prep call for roblox and get automated response saying that they check the email 1-2 times a week cause of high volumes? lol

[tired bay]

@trim surge Have u checked portal?

True well yeah just gotta wait then cause getting an email response would take a few days anyways

[spring verge]

how long did it take after Amazon's OA3 to hear back for whether you got an interview or not?

[tired bay]

2-3 weeks is probs average

[spring verge]

oh damn that's a bit

has anyone here had experience pushing it up because of an offer deadline?

[ornate charm]

Anyone know how long it takes to hear back after last amazon OA?

[spring verge]

are u memeing me lmao

[ornate charm]

Lmfao I just saw what you said

[placid orchid]

Anyone know what kind of design questions Microsoft asks new grads for the final round? Is it more object oriented stuff / design a data structure or actual system design?

[ornate charm]

^^^^

[spring verge]

friends that have done it said actual system design ^

But from what I've heard there's a good amount of variance and kinda just depends on the interviewer and luck on the draw. Someone I know had 2 behavioral interviews and 1 where they coded last year lol

maybe it's more streamlined this year tho

[placid orchid]

Ah I see, thanks!

[languid solstice]

i got actual sys design

[eternal basin]

i did not have system design at all 😮

[ornate charm]

anyone done sentry io hackerrank?????

[severe oasis]

yea its super annoying

Medium

[vocal carbon]

probably but you gotta hate yourself

[dark thistle]

Why tho — life is supposed to get easier when you leave uni you know

[digital carbon]

isn't it probably not allowed anyway? like my offer letter explicitly stated I can't simultaneously take up paid employment elsewhere without consent

[dry mural]

anyone ever do pendo interviews?

[worthy spear]

@digital carbon ooohhhh I see

hey does Bloomberg always schedule a 2nd round phone screen? I got an ambiguous email mentioning "on sites" being remote and I'm wondering if I'm being moved to the onsite or 2nd round phone screen

[rapid belfry]

I think it's 1 hr phone screen -> 2 hr onsite (which can split into 2 1 hr segments) -> 1/2 hr recruiter call + 1 hr senior engineer manager call for new grad

at least that's what it is in my experience

[worthy spear]

oh okay, thanks! @rapid belfry

[devout bobcat]

Anyone know if GS still accepting applications?

@worthy spear I think it also depends if you are MS or BS

[spring verge]

anybody had luck with triplebyte? I did well enough on the first one to do a 2 hour "fast track" thing but idk if it's worth it

hard to find a two hour block of time too with classes in full swing

[real root]

@eager glacier thats not gonna stop the people with jobs from applying I feel

[digital carbon]

meh, I feel like quite a lot of people wouldn't renege on big N for google (I know I wouldn't). Considering most of the people qualified to work at google would otherwise get offers from big N, I don't think what @eager glacier says is implausible.

[woven tartan]

@spring verge I took the generalist interview and it was actually pretty good but idk I have already marked my open spots and still haven't received any requests yet lol

[devout bobcat]

anyone know how to study for the amazon workstyle assessment

[placid orchid]

anyone know how to study for the amazon workstyle assessment
@devout bobcat read up on the lps

[ruby crow]

Anyone done final round @ Lucid?

[autumn lynx]

anyone knows what this means for goldman sachs if i never interviewed lol. I only took the hackerrank

[normal tide]

i had the same status, only to get rejected like a couple of weeks later

[autumn lynx]

jeez

rip

[tired bay]

@autumn lynx U never did the Hirevue?

[autumn lynx]

nah i only got a hackerrank

i did really well on it im p sure

[tired bay]

True yeah idk their process is Hackerrank -> Hirevue -> Final

[autumn lynx]

how far are u in the process

[tired bay]

I got rejected after Hirevue while back

[autumn lynx]

damn was it coding or just behavioral?

[tired bay]

Behavioral

[rocky moon]

anyone do the palantir typosquatting OA? i found it pretty hard tbh

[elfin rivet]

Does anyone know what the amazon non-compete document is like? It’s pretty insane that we can’t see what the 18 month non-compete will be like before we sign

[dry mural]

anyone know how pendo's interview is like

[dark thistle]

Noncompetes are unenforceable in California btw, if that matters to you

[devout bobcat]

How likely am I to get OA3 with 13/13 on first problem and 7/13 on second

[normal tide]

isn't OA3 automated?

[mystic mica]

Posted this previously on another server but reposting here:
Nobody really knows how they move people on. But I feel like it's:

• At least 2/7 on OA1 (some guy got 1/7 and got rejected without getting OA2/3, but someone got 2/7 and moved past the OAs to final rounds)
• Some high percentage of cases on OA2
• However, a super good score on OA1 and OA2 will fail overall if you answered the wrong choices/had bad LPs in the work simulation/personality test

[crimson shale]

for amazon final interview, I have a 30 minute slot. I am seeing basically everyone saying all you do is some LPs and go over your OA2s. I wanted to check if you guys can either confirm this experience or if anyone had a different interview for the 30 min timeslot? sorry if this has been asked before

[solid terrace]

i had the first experience, where they just went over OA2. i don't think they even did LPs, it was legit just time for me to ask them questions

[vocal carbon]

How do you get OA1 lol. I've never received anything from Amazon

[crimson shale]

@solid terrace just to make sure, they go over your OA2 question & submission and not just one from the pool of OA2 q's?

@vocal carbon it took me a long time to get OA1, but they moved very quickly after that

[solid terrace]

@solid terrace just to make sure, they go over your OA2 question & submission and not just one from the pool of OA2 q's?
@crimson shale yeah haha

[crimson shale]

wow, this seems too easy to be true tbh

[solid terrace]

well, people always talk about PIP at amazon, so i guess it's one thing to be aware of if you join

[autumn lynx]

@dry mural in previous years it was like 4 rounds, lots of behavioral questions, making sure you’re not bs’ing on your resume and going over hackerrank solution in detail. fwiw they’re only hiring 8 new grads this year
@eager glacier no way. they prob already hired 8

[crimson shale]

@solid terrace what do you mean by that? they are quick to put you on a PIP / try to force you out?

[solid terrace]

oh well not necessarily, i heard it's very team dependent, and i haven't worked or interned there so i can't say much about it

[crimson shale]

honestly, it seems like a bad practice to hire after 30 minutes of actually knowing its me doing the work / basically an automated behavioral

[solid terrace]

but fast hire and fast fire is what i've heard

[crimson shale]

makes sense, thanks @solid terrace

[autumn lynx]

wait i had a final interview with amazon for intern last year and they asked a leetcode hard question nothing about OA

[crimson shale]

did you have longer than 30 min time slot?

apparently there are 1hr and 3 part interviews that do LC

[autumn lynx]

45 min

so after the 30 min phone screen theres another interview?

[solid terrace]

nope, it's legit a 30 min screen that verifies whether you did oa2 or not

then you get an offer

(usually, not sure if i've seen anybody fail it)

[dry mural]

@solid terrace ONLY 8?

have you done their hacker rank 30min

i have mine tmrw

@solid terrace if i pass this tmrw i go to onsite

ok

[rich drift]

for the bloomberg phone screen, do they have you run the code or just explain it?

[dry mural]

how do you know they are only hiring 8 new grads/

[solid terrace]

wait that wasn't me haha, i was responding to eekhorn and nneeranjun about amazon

[dry mural]

oh fudge

i wonder how many they have hired so far :{

if i pass this im on onsite

did you get an offer @eager glacier

[autumn lynx]

nope, it's legit a 30 min screen that verifies whether you did oa2 or not
@solid terrace shit maybe they're only giving people the screening if u did extremely well on the OA

[dry mural]

ok

[arctic drift]

honestly, it seems like a bad practice to hire after 30 minutes of actually knowing its me doing the work / basically an automated behavioral
@crimson shale it's only the top x%

that get the 30 minute final round

it's not like everyone gets a 30 minute final round lmfao

but also with Amazon they don't really care so yeah they also just PIP the fuck out of people they want to get rid of

[tepid sky]

y tf would they only hire 8 new grads

when ive seen lots of people get final itnerviews and probably offers

[mystic mica]

wow, this seems too easy to be true tbh
@crimson shale that's been amazon's process for new grad for a while now

do well enough (by whatever metrics they use) on the OAs and you get a meme 30 minute final interview

but I have read somewhere of someone getting asked a brand new questions in the single final round

although 99% of the time they just go over your OA2 and you get to ask questions and stuff

[autumn lynx]

but I have read somewhere of someone getting asked a brand new questions in the single final round
@mystic mica thats me last year 😦

[mystic mica]

RIP

[autumn lynx]

i got some weird trie problem or sum shit one of my friends got 3sum

[mystic mica]

seems typical

my friend complained about his fb interview last year

[autumn lynx]

which is actually a p hard problem if youve never seen it

ngl

[mystic mica]

person who interviewed before him got an easy question and he still couldn't do anything better than n^2 but they still got the offer

meanwhile my friend got shafted with like

some hard problem

no offer ofc

[autumn lynx]

yeah its sometimes luck out here

[dry mural]

you got 3 sum on final round for amazon @autumn lynx ?

for 30min?

[mystic mica]

?

reread what he said lol

[autumn lynx]

it mightve been two sum i cant remember but same idea. my friend got that

[dry mural]

ooof i didnt notice him responding to someone

my bd

[autumn lynx]

yeah i would go in with the expectation of a question

practice LC amazon questions

and hopefully u dont get one

[dry mural]

shit i remember my amazon internship final round interview, db design + ood

right

[balmy depot]

Has anyone interviewed with Applied Intuition?

[ember scaffold]

has anyone taken amazon oa2 for europe

[last linden]

people actually get OA2 reviews for their amazon final? damn i got a LC hard guess my interviewer was feeling sadistic ig

[radiant shore]

I got 2nd smallest integer in array for GS coderpad

LOL @worthy spear

Got the offer too

[spiral glade]

I got 2nd smallest integer in array for GS coderpad
@radiant shore
Whoa! Damn, you either did really well in your other technical interviews or just got plain lucky on that round

[muted stump]

Does Codility allow you to retake assessment? I took an assessment and when I click on the provided link the exam starts again. (I did not get a confirmation email saying the exam is summitted)

[granite river]

Does anyone know what the newgrad TC is like for Brex?

[old kestrel]

!salary Brex

[feral marten]

Unable to locate data on Brex

[eager root]

Can anyone provide any idea about VMware interviews, what they ask, difficulty?

[rapid pelican]

!problem blind

[feral marten]

!problem can only be used in #leetcode-bot

[dark frigate]

Any last minute advice for two sigma onsite day 1?

@eager root when did you take the OA for VMware? I took it a while ago and finished it pretty early but still haven't hear back :(

[solid terrace]

For anyone who took Microsoft SWE onsite, did you get more than four rounds?
@eager glacier i got 4 rounds

[old kestrel]

Any last minute advice for two sigma onsite day 1?
@dark frigate
if u pass u wont get an email until like 30 minutes before day 2 starts so don't stress

[high thunder]

i could barely sleep between my last onsite and decision

that sounds even worse 😩

[eager root]

@dark frigate it’s been a month

[rocky spoke]

anyone here who applied to the applications engineer new grad role at google heard back yet?

[dark frigate]

@old kestrel seriously? Thanks for letting me know omg I would've definitely spent the entire day freaking out

[old kestrel]

lol yea

and then on day 2

its 2 behavioral, quick recruiter chat, then 1 more behavioral @dark frigate

[steep trout]

anyone will amazon comeback if we only solve 6 out of 7 in debugging round?

[sullen forge]

Did anyone get IBM offer ?

[lucid pagoda]

I haven't seen shit in chat about IBM past OA

[steep trout]

ibm i went till asssessment centre and got rejected

[dark frigate]

@old kestrel did they ask a bunch of LC hards during the technical rounds?

I want this job real bad 😅

[lucid pagoda]

How long after front end OA did anyone hear back?

[noble crag]

I don't think anyone has heard from IBM after OA

I hope they don't throw everyone in a bin and decide not to hire again

[old kestrel]

@old kestrel did they ask a bunch of LC hards during the technical rounds?
@dark frigate
Idk probably varies

[devout bobcat]

anyone have any experience being ghosted after scheduling a phone interview

[delicate tapir]

^ i passed all IBM OA haven’t heard shit

[dark frigate]

^ same here!!

[autumn lynx]

^ i passed all IBM OA haven’t heard shit
@delicate tapir get used to that

[wind acorn]

fr they could get back to you 2 weeks before your start date w/ an offer

fml I just realized I replied to myself instead of my recruiter

F

[acoustic mural]

Did anyone's Microsoft portal change after the phone interview?

[placid orchid]

@acoustic mural I think mine changed to interview scheduling

my portal status*

[acoustic mural]

@acoustic mural I think mine changed to interview scheduling
@placid orchid Gotcha! Did you move on to final round? How soon did you hear back after phone interview?

[placid orchid]

I have it scheduled for next Monday. I heard back after 2 business days

[acoustic mural]

@placid orchid thanks for the info!

[placid orchid]

no problem 🙂

[acoustic mural]

@placid orchid wait sorry 1 more question - when was your phone interview?

[placid orchid]

Thursday oct 8

[wind acorn]

Do y'all have a preference for frontend, backend, or full-stack roles?

[bronze crane]

I just want a role

[unkempt echo]

c++ only

[placid orchid]

I prefer backend

[autumn lynx]

i prefer backend but full stack can be refreshing sometimes

[bold gull]

@placid orchid how long did it take to schedule your final round? Im not doing SWE but its almost 3 weeks and still no schedule for final yet

[placid orchid]

I got the recruiter email 2 business days after my phone screen and I had the final round scheduled the day after that

I had a competing offer and the recruiter let me know that my app would be expedited tho

[bold gull]

Ahh i have a competing offer too but they dont respond to me 😭

I got the final email quick too but i just feel like it's taking forever to schedule

[placid orchid]

I should also mention that I got a referral, that's prob really important too

When's your deadline for your competing offer? They usually try to schedule the interview at least a couple of days before that

[worthy spear]

Y’all which would you choose between Microsoft or Robinhood

[arctic drift]

Robinhood

but tbh depends on what you're looking for

You'll have "more" job security at microsoft

I think you'd probably end up learning more at Rh

[rapid crown]

Hey .. after giving Amazon OA3 did anybody got an email saying.. we are reviewing your assessment results and will get back to you shortly.
I gave the OA3 on Tuesday and got this email today morning.
I heard mostly people are getting interview or rejection email.
Anybody have any idea?

[tired bay]

Yeah I feel like RH is the cool company to go with when your young and Microsoft is a company you could hop to at any point

[bold gull]

@placid orchid 11/1 and early/mid November for the other

[winged patio]

Anyone take roblox yet?

[elfin rivet]

Hey everyone would you rather work at Amazon in the DC area, or Morgan Stanley in NYC?

[arctic drift]

Anyone take roblox yet?
@winged patio second or first onsite?

[vocal carbon]

Hmmm biggest issue with morgan stanley IMO is that you don't know the team before signing. I've final round for next week but Idk if I would want to do it w no team knowledge

[elfin rivet]

I also don’t know team with Amazon before signing either

[vocal carbon]

Ah do you have a pros cons list for what you care about

[elfin rivet]

Well right now MS has better location, I grew up in NYC and want to go back at some point, and the people I worked with seemed friendly during my internship, but amazon has more up to date tech experience and might make it easier to switch jobs a few years down the line, plus a higher TC

[winged patio]

@arctic drift final round

[arctic drift]

didn't they send out

scheduling yesterday lol

no way they're that fast

Did you already get yours scheduled?

[vocal carbon]

Honestly if the TC gap isn't too big I think I'd do MS mostly because of the city, but a lot of 2021 is gonna be covid wfh so 🤷‍♂️

[arctic drift]

they're treated as different companies in terms of interviews

you probably wouldn't be able to internally trasnfer

transfer*

[ornate charm]

LinkedIn would be fire

[naive shadow]

isnt github remote?

[digital carbon]

msft and linkedin do seem to (according to google) but they look like really small offices

and location doesn't matter as much for github, iirc they have a pretty good remote working culture

[placid orchid]

I heard linkedin has amazing food

[magic sable]

where can i find the linkedin new grad posting ?

[digital carbon]

Nah LinkedIn nyc office is dope
@glass phoenix not saying it's not dope, just saying it seems small from what I can tell

@magic sable Linkedin pays a lot too
@glass phoenix aren't you the guy that said $37/hr is slave wages

[vagrant raft]

Lmao

[digital carbon]

idk I just remembered it lol

sorry I shouldn't have brought it up

woah woah calm down lol

[old kestrel]

lol

they gone

[vagrant raft]

I guess you prove good internship != good person @glass phoenix

[daring bough]

Yikes

[old kestrel]

lmao

a dummy

[digital carbon]

also my b I really shouldn't have brought it up

[old kestrel]

is what i would expect

also my b I really shouldn't have brought it up
@digital carbon
prob not

[digital carbon]

yea :/

[old kestrel]

sorry

[vocal carbon]

Damn I went away for a sec missed all the drama

[nova maple]

Anyone done with roblox final behavioral round or the prep call?

[grave gull]

shit i missed the drama

[placid orchid]

did quasi delete their acct or smth

cant see the msgs anymore

[quick panther]

what's the tea

[vapid river]

Dam did the mods banish him

[tiny wedge]

noooo i missed it

[placid orchid]

smth about quasi sayin 37/hr is slave wages

[quick panther]

nice

[tiny wedge]

they can tell that to the mcdonalds recruiter

[quick panther]

even mcdonald's has a hiring bar these days

[warm jolt]

anyone have the onsite for Roblox that i can ask a question?

[turbid lintel]

Does anyone have a good resource or cheat sheet for Object Oriented Programming/Design?

[sharp lichen]

😦 recruiter not getting back to me and deadline is way too soon 😦

[blissful adder]

anyone know when blend starts recruiting new grads?

ik their app has been open for a few weeks

[wild otter]

Applied to amazon about a month ago and just now got a notification that OA is coming my way. Weird, but I’ll take it

[worthy spear]

Ooh what position?

[vocal carbon]

^when did you guys apply?

[wild otter]

SDE, only put down the two local offices in my state and not in NY/Seattle which might be why there was a delay

[worthy spear]

@vocal carbon I applied October 19 but not for SDE

[vocal carbon]

Ah kk thanks!

[lyric nest]

Anyone who interned/got an offer from Oracle (OCI)/knows anyone working there, etc please DM! Had a couple of doubts.

[rocky nacelle]

[last linden]

wtf slurs

[smoky quiver]

does anyone know how long it takes between bloomberg's onsite rounds if they are split up to different days?

[naive current]

Anyone know if Citadel does onsite rejects by phone or email?

[dusky plover]

Anyone got any SpaceX questions, I work there. My team is looking for developers so if you're interested DM me. Primarily looking for python developers that have some experience in systems engineering and distributed systems.

[mighty nebula]

Anyone who did 2sigma hackerrank, how long did it take for them to get back to you

[patent cloak]

@smoky quiver mine were on back to back days

Dude at the end of the first one asked me if I was free and scheduled another one for the next day

[smoky quiver]

@patent cloak i see, what about after that? for hr and eng manager?

[patent cloak]

I heard back 3 days after my onsites to schedule final round

[autumn lynx]

How long does it normally take to hear back after taking OA3 for amazon?

[mighty nebula]

No more than 2 weeks

@food

Dood**

[ember scaffold]

And the next steps after OA3 can be either a phone interview or a couple virtual onsites right? somebody mentioend about a 30-min final interview thing

[tired bay]

It’s either 30 minute final or 3 hr final based on OA results

[dry mural]

getting 30 min final is rng

but also getting the behaviroal 30 min final is rng

cuz i've heard ppl getting lc med/hard in that 30

[autumn lynx]

Pls god don’t let me get the 3 hour

Pls god don’t let me get rejected*

Can’t jinx myself

[mighty nebula]

Yeah, I spent my two weeks in anticipation as well. I'd reccomend not thinking about it too much

[rocky spoke]

@dusky plover is it open to only US citizens?

[royal heron]

Has anyone interviewed with Target here? What is there hiring process like

[tawdry herald]

Does Bloomberg call to reject?

[empty crane]

no

[worthy spear]

Anyone who received an offer from general motors got a relocation package?

[dark frigate]

@old kestrel or anyone who did the two sigma behavioral interviews, did they ask you to code/ get asked systems design questions?

[old kestrel]

It won’t be coding related from me and the 5ish people I know

[cursive loom]

can we basically assume roblox isnt accepting any more apps?

if theyre doing final finals now?

[arctic drift]

I got a bit manip question for my Microsoft on-campus round last year fwiw @eager glacier

Wasn't super difficult though

[naive current]

Citadel is at max capacity for new grad roles

[high thunder]

nice

[wind acorn]

I emailed Roblox's university email and told them "hey yo i have a deadline in 2 weeks can we expedite"

and they responded saying "hi thanks for your email we're going through apps in the next few weeks"

F

[crimson shale]

@dry mural who have you heard getting a lc during the amazon 30 min final? people you know personally? I have seen overwhelming reports that they are all OA2 walkthroughs.

people here have said that getting the 30 min interview is due to good OA results => basically auto offer

[dry mural]

so currently

out of my 7 irl friends

including this and last year grads

right

2/7 have gotten leetcodes

on it

its up to the interviewer

the other 5/7 was like

10 min go over OA2

explain it

say time complexity/space how to imrpove it

etc

right

but one of my friends got 3sum in that 30min as well

its mostly that auto offer

not always

[autumn lynx]

That’s only if u ace all three OA’s tho?

[cursive loom]

@wind acorn did u get further than OA for roblox?

[crimson shale]

@dry mural thanks for the information

[cursive loom]

wondering i can expedite by saying i have onsites scheduled coming up lol

[grave gull]

u shld be able to expedite

[sharp lichen]

@crimson shale my 30 min final i only briefly explained one question bc i couldnt remember the other one

i did poorly on oa1 like 4/7 or something

[magic sable]

did anyone get Blend coding challenge?

[blissful adder]

Are you expecting it to have been sent?

[magic sable]

I just got it

[cursive loom]

when did you apply to blend?

[magic sable]

A week within it got posted

[cursive loom]

ahh ok

i applied last week

so rip

[sinful hawk]

Is system design primer enough for interviews?

[autumn lynx]

@crimson shale my 30 min final i only briefly explained one question bc i couldnt remember the other one
@sharp lichen did u get the offer?

[blissful adder]

A week within it got posted
@magic sable with or without a referral?

[primal summit]

2/7 have gotten leetcodes
@dry mural I went through the process recently and got an offer.
Do you know if they were given a 30 min interview only or 30-45 min

[wind acorn]

@wind acorn did u get further than OA for roblox?
@cursive loom no that was their reply when i emailed them saying i have offer deadline on nov 6th lol

at least reject me so i can move on

[naive current]

Yeah I passed all test cases in mid September and they never reached out

[wind acorn]

Yeah I passed all test cases in mid September and they never reached out
@naive current same 😦

[sharp lichen]

@autumn lynx yep I did

[rocky spoke]

wow OCI interview was java trivia

why cant they be like everyone else and just ask leetcode

[queen burrow]

Is anyone kind enough to tell me the structure of both of bloomberg's final technical rounds? How many leetcode questions are we expected to solve in order to pass?

[true folio]

3-4

@queen burrow

[slim lake]

That seems like a lot for 45 minutes

Oh you said final

[true folio]

3-4 over 2 rounds

[digital carbon]

you should solve 2 questions in each 1 hr round

yea what @true folio said

[queen burrow]

thanks guys 🙂

[true folio]

you should solve 2 questions in each 1 hr round
@digital carbon not necessarily

[digital carbon]

hmm yea you don't necessarily have to finish coding up the second answer, but it's a good goal to have

[copper fractal]

I got 1 question but it had like lots of follow ups

[balmy depot]

There’s finally new grad postings!! Praise be

[digital carbon]

I got 1 question but it had like lots of follow ups
@copper fractal oh ya I guess one really drawn out question is possible in lieu of two questions

[dry mural]

@primal summit 30-45 its rng though to get it

[balmy depot]

@balmy depot lol but in sweden
@jaunty oyster lol yeah, that is slightly problematic (especially when I rejected my East Coast return offer for being “too far”)....

[hollow sand]

Has anyone gotten to geico final round?

Any insights?

[mighty nebula]

Holy crap, would've never though geico has swe positions, that went over my head entirely

[tall lantern]

Just took my first Codility test, does anyone know what the min score is to get a call back?

[patent cloak]

When you grind system design for a week and a half and know your resume like the back of your hand to prep for BB final only to get an obscure math problem 🙃

[spice belfry]

ooooff. was this the 2 hour technical round? or the engineering manager round

[patent cloak]

Eng manager round

[copper fractal]

When you grind system design for a week and a half and know your resume like the back of your hand to prep for BB final only to get an obscure math problem 🙃
@patent cloak Im literally grinding Sys for BB right now XD

[patent cloak]

Threw me off so much

@copper fractal yeah I still recommend studying it on the off chance that they do ask it lol

I had a call with a recruiter beforehand and she even said “prepare for a design question” lmao

so much rng

[nova gyro]

my manager round was just behavioral

so i guess you can really get anything

[tiny oak]

holy shiiiitttt i'm not gonna be unemployed post gradddd

[high thunder]

y

[tired bay]

@high thunder #2021_grad_process

[tiny oak]

@high thunder i got an offer from JPMC only offer so far

[cursive loom]

anyone got exp with codility?

[high thunder]

Congrats

[rocky moon]

@cursive loom I did a codility for western digital wasnt too bad iirc

[cursive loom]

kk cool

is it just like hackerrank?

[arctic drift]

yup

[rocky moon]

mine had 4 multiple choice questions and one lc med id say

[arctic drift]

its hackerrank with cases you'll never see

[cursive loom]

cool, thanks for the info!

[lunar crypt]

can anybody offer some insight into the jpmc interview? i just got an email with my time slot for next week

[noble nest]

anyone know if we're supposed to include a readme in the redfin oa?

nvm, they automatically ask it

[worthy spear]

what's the difficulty level of the Amazon OA 2?

[tired bay]

I got an easy and a medium-hard

[sweet vigil]

anyone know if we're supposed to include a readme in the redfin oa?
@noble nest how was it? Is the webcam supposed to be on the whole time?

[noble nest]

no webcam, and it wasn't that difficult imo

[spice belfry]

has anyone gotten a system design q on the bloomberg 2 technicals? or are those reserved for the manager round

[placid merlin]

anyone have experience with Nextdoors interviews?

[ornate charm]

no webcam, and it wasn't that difficult imo
@noble nest was it timed?

@noble nest how was it? Is the webcam supposed to be on the whole time?
@sweet vigil was it timed

[noble nest]

I don’t think it was, but they recommend to spend no more than 5 hours

[sturdy otter]

I did a 2hr interview for JPMC today and I can't stop thinking about how unimpressed my technical interviewer seemed the entire time

reee I want to die

[bronze canopy]

Is the 2 hour interview the final for JPMC?

45 min coding 45 min behavioral

[sturdy otter]

yea, for the new grad software engineering role anyways

they said the technical interview would have coding but I didn't have any :/

I applied for a DS Analyst role at JPMC and did a similar 2hr interview last friday for that one, but they said it was the "first" round, so ig it depends on the position you apply for

haven't heard back for that one yet

[ornate charm]

What does Walmart pay? Anyone know?

[sturdy otter]

actually even retail walmart pays like 12/hr minimum

In Texas, anyways
min wage here is like 7 something

[tired bay]

Retail is 11/hr Software in Arkansas is like in 80s I think

[autumn lynx]

they said the technical interview would have coding but I didn't have any :/
@sturdy otter no technical? not even conceptual questions?

[sturdy otter]

Oh sorry, I shoulda clarified.
There was a technical interview, but there were no coding questions

But, that was just the experience for me. Idk if it's different depending on interviewer

[languid solstice]

i've never negotiated before and was wondering if people have tips. i've heard it's good to give a ballpark range to the recruiter of where you were looking for the offer to be, has anyone done that and how exactly did they determine that range?

[sleek ingot]

^ do not give them a range

[mystic mica]

never give a range!!

you will 100% get the lower end

they won't give you the lowest to give you some face, but they're not gonna give you middle of the range eitehr

[languid solstice]

oh okay

and if you have other offers, do you just say something like "i have another competitive offer" without giving details?

^in my case, the offers are basically the same in comp

thank you :DDD

[wind acorn]

@languid solstice make sure you also have reasons for everything though

like

i liked your culture, mission, team, location, etc,. more
don't just be like "gimme moar monies"

[patent cloak]

Lmao the second half of that read like satire

[random knot]

Lmao the second half of that read like satire

[royal beacon]

Hi, Does anybody who has taken the Yext final interview have any tips? Thanks.

[wind acorn]

how long after applying did they get back to you @royal beacon

[royal beacon]

I applied on the campus career fair.

[digital carbon]

https://haseebq.com/my-ten-rules-for-negotiating-a-job-offer/
@quick burrow can mods pin this somewhere? I didn't get a chance to finish reading, but it looks pretty thorough.

since questions about negotiating come up somewhat frequently

[dusky nest]

Has JPM moved too far in the process alr?
