      Software Engineer Interview

      24 Oct 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Mateo, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Auction.com (San Mateo, CA)

      Interview

      Phone screen and onsite. Solved algorithms on whiteboard. Rejected because I didn't use Java when solving the problems. I never use Java for whiteboard questions as its too verbose for a time constrained task.

      Software Developer Interview

      12 Aug 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Auction.com

      Interview

      The interview process was long and archaic. The entire process was for 5+ weeks with just 3 rounds(60 min + 60min + 30min) scheduled separately. To know the interview decision, I had to email 3 different people over 1.5 weeks when I was promised the feedback in 2 days. The actual technical round was 1 hour long with questions mostly on background and a small coding problem at the end. And then came the interview with the CTO. I've always felt that any company that has a CTO or VP round at the end of the hiring process is not a tech-heavy company. Clearly, this company too followed this old-fashioned way of hiring that is fit for hiring non-tech and also speaks for the scale of work at the company as every engineer needs to get through the CTO round to get hired. This round was fairly usual where the CTO has not done any background prep on the candidate and their performance in previous rounds and just tries to fit the candidate into their perception of an ideal candidate. This company is not serious about hiring people for the role because they are very laid back in their tech and process. I was told that they are always looking for a really good fit and they take one person through the entire interview loop and then simply hand out a rejection at their own pace. The interview process was definitely sub-par even for a non tech company. Avoid interviewing here if you care about your tech career.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you keep yourself updated on new tech? Somehow the interviewer kept drilling into this question for no good reason.

      Software Developer Interview

      2 Nov 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Auction.com (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      Extremely professional HR. Everything else is average. Decent company. Smart people. It seems that they have an insufficient number of developers currently. Lots of stages. The process was quite long. Several weeks at least.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Live coding. Nonstandard tasks. Quite difficult.
