      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Feb 6, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Course Hero in Jan 2019

      Interview

      It was a disappointing experience. After recruiter calls, they gave me a take home challenge which they claimed might take “30-45 minutes” which is simply inaccurate. I spend a few hours on it solving and also creating 30+ production ready test cases. And then we had zoom interview with a current Staff Software Engineer who has been working with the company for 5 years. He asked me 3 followup questions and I solved them in 15-20 minutes — way before his expectations. Eventually I received an email saying they won’t proceed with my candidacy WITHOUT any feedback, comment or technical reasoning. I would not invest hours for this company which I think is not evaluating candidates objectively.

      Question 1

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Course Hero (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      I wasted my energy for interview. I also got day off from my company for the Interview. It was canceled 5 minutes before the call. They replied they would continue with another candidate 5 minutes before the calling. It is definitely not a professional company. I never work here.
