      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DataStax in July 2018.

      Interview

      I applied with Datastax at the end of June in 2018. A recruiter got in contact with me shortly after in the beginning of July. The interview process was very smooth and easy going. Datastax is a distributed team and all of the interviews were done online. I met with 6 different people from the company. The process took about 4 weeks overall since there were so many people to meet with in order to determine my technical skills as well as my cultural fit. Everyone I interviewed with were all extremely friendly, knowledgable, and easy going during the process. I can say it was the best interview process that I have been through. Even though everyone is spread out and in different timezones, they were all still available and flexible when it came to scheduling interviews without delay. The recruiters were extremely fast with getting back to me in order to schedule the next interview and answering any questions that I might have. I was extremely excited to accept the offer after hearing so much about the company, team, culture, etc.

      Difficult Interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at DataStax.

      Interview

      I initially met some DataStax employees at a local meetup. It was a lot of fun; they were very friendly and open.

      After I started the application process, I talked to an HR person over the phone for 30-45 mins. She discussed the role and verified my technical skills.

      Next, I talked to a team lead over Skype for about an hour. We talked about some technical topics and some team dynamics topics.

      Finally, they assigned me a live ticket from the Cassandra task tracker, and asked me to submit a code patch. This was challenging, as it involved get the codebase up and running, and digging through a lot of undocumented legacy code in order to tackle the issue. I estimate it took 25 hours overall. They put me in touch with a senior engineer and their dev IRC channel for help, but the engineer was very terse, the chat channel was pretty dead, and I found it hard to ask for help without seeming like I was struggling. Overall I felt it was an unforgiving way to test an engineer.

      In the end I did not complete the ticket, as the time required to completely solve the issue was interfering with my interview schedule with other companies.
