I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub (Munich, Bavaria) in Apr 2022
Interview
1. Applied through LinkedIn.
2. Got a take-home exercise, cleared it.
3. Got a diversity related behavioural interview with the HR who was super professional and nice, cleared it.
4. Got 4 interviews scheduled in the same day, 2 behavioural, 2 technical, weird thing, I "sensed" a positive feedback from the interviewers, especially the last technical interview, I genuinely think I did very well and thought I might got to the next round but unfortunately no feedback from them, next week contacted the HR, next hour got a vague generic negative response along the lines of (it was close call unfortunately... bla bla bla).
All in all, it was indeed a negative experience, stupid behavioural question, and waste of time. Never again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Signed an NDA can't say any details, just super easy technical interviews.
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.
Gave OA after passing the interview screening. Recruiter will reach out it was only 1 problem in the OA on hackerrank to solve and recruiter will reach out immediately after that’s been solved
I applied online. I interviewed at GitHub in Feb 2025
Interview
Interviewed for SWII. Was straightforward. Had a talk with a recruiter and asked basic behavior questions then told me on the call that I am being pushed to interview day. I was given what the questions might be, Interview day was 2 technical interviews and one cultural. Technical questions was to build a game of battlefield and the other was the set up some HTTP calls.
