Dolby Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Dolby (San Francisco, CA).

Interview

I was contacted by three different recruiters from possibly three different recruiting agencies for two totally separate positions. I had to ask all three recruiters to repeat themselves over and over again because they spoke too fast and mumbled. They did not listen, and asked me the same questions over and over again. Their emails were riddled in typos and confusing language. The two that were asking about the same position, seemed to only want to be one who got back to the hiring manager first. Even after I spoke to the hiring manager and told him that this job was not for me, the recruiter was very persistent and basically did not take my "no thank you" as an answer. It was all very strange.

When I had the actual phone screening interview with the hiring manager at Dolby, it was awkward, but it was evident quickly that this position was not for me.

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Dolby (San Francisco, CA) in October 2014.

Interview

Was contacted by a Recruiter a few days after applying for the position. Initial HR call was short and sweet, and was contacted immediately after for a call with the Hiring Manager. Hiring Manager was sweet and easy to talk to. HR was very prompt with scheduling interviews (phone and in person), and about a week and a half after call with HM, I was seen for a in-person interview with Hiring Manager, Communications Associate and my Recruiter. After a week and a half, I was notified via email that they had offered the position to another candidate.

They arranged a HireVew interview. This was advertised as being better than the usual phone interview, since it is online and you can take it at any time. There were four programming questions, which one could solve in any one of the languages in the list. The ones I remember are C,Java, Python and many more.

Interview

Overall, I enjoyed speaking with the actual product team, but did not appreciate the back and forth and lack of cohesion as I went through the intern recruiting process for this position.
First round interview was coordinated promptly and consisted of 30-minute phone screen.
After follow up with the recruiter, received an email from a different recruiting coordinator 8 days later at the end of the day (5 p.m.) to schedule a second phone screen the next morning. Also asked about my timeline and other opportunities. Promptly scheduled phone screen for next morning. After 20 minutes waiting for the call, emailed the recruiter and found out the person was on vacation. Rescheduled the second phone screen for the following week. After waiting for the call, I emailed the recruiter, received an out of office and was redirected to another recruiter. Received a response that they forgot to cancel the second phone screen and the team was making their decision and I would hear the next day. Three days later, I received a decline.
