Title, what's been confusing about the process?

#

y u confused?

feral jewel
#

From what I can tell it’s phone -> virtual on-site -> HR round -> Engineering manager round

granite orchid
#

how long after phone did u hear back?

noble parrot
#

I had coffee chat (15 minute non-technical convo) -> in person interview (yesterday) -> another in person interview (today)

#

so not sure how the in person interviews translate into the process

Both are

#

Have my second one at 3

#

Had two leetcode style questions asked in the last one

dim sand
#

Also, you got final invitation before the second in person??

#

I can see why you'd be confused

#

So I think that my process might just be coffee chat -> 2 in person interviews -> potential offer

dim sand
#

So basically it's the final split up over two days instead of all together in VO

noble parrot
#

Think so

dim sand
#

So if you pass the 2nd round it'll probably be the standard HR -> EM process

noble parrot
#

I assume so

#

I'll ask ab it when in the interview

dim sand
#

Thanks for the info btw, got my coffee chat tomorrow lol

noble parrot
#

HR->EM is basically guaranteed, right?

#

Nice nice, coffee chat is hella chill

dim sand
noble parrot
#

Ah Lol

#

Always figured HR rounds are freebies

dim sand
#

HR is just behavioral

noble parrot
#

Wack, never done a sys design interview before

#

This is my first time interviewing in person too

Oh wait one day mb

#

Did your interviewer also interrupt you every 5 seconds?

#

Cause holy shit mine would not let me think or go through my solution at all

I just got out 10 min ago

#

But yea prob reject

dim sand
#

You still got some hopium

noble parrot
#

Genuinely most disrespectful interviewer I’ve ever had

dim sand
#

Were you able to solve the problems tho?

noble parrot
#

I think so?

dim sand
#

Did you run code? How does in person work?

noble parrot
#

Coding on whiteboard

dim sand
#

Bruh

noble parrot
#

I’d think aloud and I’d go smth like “here’s a brute force way to approach it but I think…” then he would interrupt me to make me spend like 25 minutes on a solution I would be expressing as a dead end

#

And he’d make me give EVERY detail of these

#

Like bruh pls I just want to implement my actual solution

dim sand
#

That's tough

#

Usually why I never mention brute force at the beginning unless I'm genuinely stuck

noble parrot
#

I like to mention it as a just in case and to show how I’m thinking

#

Since usually interviewers seem to like that

dim sand
#

I briefly mention it at the end during complexity analysis to show benefits of optimal solution

noble parrot
#

Smart

#

But yea, guy would very poorly explain stuff to me then get mad at me for not understanding what he meant

#

I’d like try to rephrase what he said to make sure I understood and he wouldn’t repeat himself

#

Then just tell me to solve it

dim sand
#

That's crazy

damn that sucks
