Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Phone interview question was about the logic of a very famous Windows game. The whole idea was sort of a pair programming where the interviewer lets the candidate drive the discussion in asking questions and understanding the problem scenario. Good coding practice, communication and problem solving ability is tested. There was a solid 15 mins set aside for team fitment and personality test type questions.
Onsite:
HR communication was prompt, after the phone interview and my onsite was set in the next couple of days.Everyone I met starting from HR to interviewers were very professional, courteous and genuinely nice people. Each interview had 2 interviewers paring up.
First - was a design interview that had a very good, in depth discussion about design logic decision and all possible scenarios that it could cover.
Rest all were similar leetcode medium to hard type questions that needed problem solving and coding on the whiteboard. Each of the rounds there was at least 15 mins set aside for my questions and for general team fitment questions. This is a company that strongly values its culture and I found being humble, relaxed and honest goes a long way in the evaluation process.
Last round was with the engineering managers. They asked me several conflict resolution questions. They gave a very clear picture of what the position required and asked me several probing questions about how I used my problem-solving skills in real life and wanted to know how I made design and technology decisions. Managers here strongly prefer self-starters who are honest and humble.

Interview
Recruiter Phone screen -> Technical Phone screen (1hr)
The technical phone screen was 20min behavioral and rest of the time was an easy coding challenge. However, the question asked was so open ended without any explanation with one-sided discussion. The interviewer seemed very arrogant and barely spoke. It felt like I was talking to myself. Overall, worst experience i've ever had.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2021

Interview
Applied on the Salesforce website, got reached out by a recruiter weeks later. I then had a 1 hour tech screen with one of their engineers. Not only was the problem outrageous, but the interviewer didn't even define a method signature, input, or anything. He wanted it to be "open-ended", so I said bye.
