The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BigCommerce (Sydney) in Nov 2021
Interview
Have a pairing session with the team and some question for the culture. It take a 4 hrs session in the final interview and there's no feedback even they do not want to process me. That is a terrible experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BigCommerce (Austin, TX) in Jun 2021
Interview
The Interview Process started with a phone screening with HR and then a chat with the hiring manager.
Once they gave the okay, it was onto a coding a challenge. For me, it was string manipulation in Ruby.
Once my technical interviewers gave the okay, it was on to a code design challenge with engineers, product interview with a product manager, culture interview with some people on the team, and a code architecture interview with an architect.
Each interview was done remotely, about 30 - 60 minutes each. HR was very good about communicating each step and providing talking points for each interview. I think the whole process took a couple weeks.
I will say that I applied for the Senior position, but the team thought I'd be a better fit for the SE2 position. The team seemed great and the offer was great so I happily accepted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How you would design some web services that talked to each other and served requests to a web browser? There are 3 services that each take 200ms to send requests to each other. service 1 needs info from both service 2 and 3 to serve to the client. The client needs an initial response in 400 ms. How would you solve this?
