      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      3 Jun 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Postmates (San Francisco, CA) in May 2017

      Interview

      The process was bit long for me. I initially applied for Engineering manager position. Got an email from HR and quickly got scheduled for phone interview with Another engineering manager. Phone interview was focused on both technical and leadership experience. It went well so the second round was with Director of Engineering. He was late for the interview and started asking about my management experience. After explaining him my leadership experience he told me he do not want to hire me as an engineering manager and may consider me for technical role. He sounded little rude and unprofessional. I was interested in company so I agreed to that. I spoke to HR after that and she found another technical role for me in a different team. For that role also the first round was technical interview including coding exercise. The interviewer was nice person. That phone interview went well so I was invited onsite which was for 5.5 hours. During onsite I had 4 technical rounds and one hour lunch with team members. I enjoyed meeting all the people and all the interviewers were nice people. The questions were Round 1) Design questions Round 2) Design solution and code - It was their actual business use case Round 3) Design solution and code - Not actual case but similar to what they face usually Round 4) Architecture and resume Though I did not get offer, HR was prompt on reply. She gave me proper feedback and looks like I was very close to getting an offer. Overall good experience during interviewing for second position.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Postmates (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      Very unprofessional. Recruiter hung up on me during the phone interview and never got back. It was a standards 30 min HR screening call. 10 minutes into the call the recruiter said "hello" a few times and hung up on me as if he was loosing his connection. I instinctively though that he was faking it. I never got a call back and I tried calling back after a few minutes just in case but was forwarded to voice mail. The recruiter did not contact me again using any other means. I'm guessing he didn't like my salary expectation but this is very unprofessional way to handle the interview even if he though it was waste of his time. There are lot of bad reviews here and they had some layoff just last month. This is definitely not the way to handle recruiting specially when the company is not in such a good spot. His actions speaks so much about the company culture. I would say stay away from this company it's not worth even doing that initial 30 min call.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Recruiter was mainly interested it 3 questions: - Do you know XXX language? - Are you authorized to work in the US? - What are your salary expectations?
