      Software Engineer Interview

      28 Aug 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at GitHub (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      I've noticed Github responding to their Glassdoor reviews concerning the time the interview process takes, and it appears they are trying to do something about it. However, it seems to have come at the expense of not spending any time talking to candidates. I spoke with a talent acquisition person, which started off the process positively. They were very thorough in describing the company, culture, and listing the steps in the interview process. The first step was a four question form which asked high-level questions to gauge the candidates thought process. I excitedly dug into it and wrote out what I thought was a pretty in-depth description of a process I had recently gone through while building a new project from scratch. However, I quickly received a rejection because there were not certain keywords that they were looking for in the response, though there was no way to know that they were looking for those particular things. I replied to the talent acquisition person asking if there was an opportunity to respond to the feedback, because I certainly could have, but they simply copied and pasted their previous response back to me. Despite the fact that the rejection email stated "the team has carefully reviewed your responses", I am under the impression it was barely reviewed, if at all. It's also disappointing that, although the questions seemed very conversational rather than having definitive answers, there's no opportunity to have a conversation about them.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at GitHub

      Interview

      There were a total of four interview rounds: a recruiter screening, a hiring manager interview, and a loop consisting of system design and coding rounds. The interviews went very well, and after each round, the interviewers seemed highly impressed and mentioned that I would hear back from the recruiter soon. However, I was ultimately rejected because the decision came down to a very close comparison between me and another candidate. Additionally, the recruiter was not very helpful throughout the process, which made the experience more frustrating.
