Fastly Interview Questions

Recruiting team was on top of it. Clear communication and they were prompt with scheduling and responses. I knew where I was in the process at all times. Very organized interview, knew what I was going to discuss with interviewers.

First round was well organised after being called by a recruiter. Was then followed up with a successful continuation to the next stage. This included writing approx 1000 word document split into 5 questions. Was then told I was unsuccessful due to lack of experience for an internship role.

8 Interviews, 2 with HR/ recruiting. 3 zoom interviews in 1 day and 3 zoom interviews in the next day. A person would need to take days off at their present job to be on these interviews.

The application process is straight forward. The company is quick to reply. When you are not invited for an interview, about 5 days for a rejection email from the time of submitting your application.

Fairly easy interviews. Easy coding question to implement data structure and then a few conversations about my career. A few systems design questions and inquiring how I would handle different engineering scenarios.

Contacted my the recruiter via call for an on the spot screening and then placed into a process which was already running. A bit of an odd process in that I didn't meet the hiring manager but stakeholders from outside the function first.

First meeting went well. Second meeting, interviewer came with questions that were so vague, no diagrams, not well thought out that it confused them as well as me. Gave the impression they weren't over concerned with being in the interview, and seemed bored to sum up the experience. I can understand why they are struggling to fill these roles when they have managers such as these responsible for hiring. I'm glad I found this out prior to working for this company. My advice if you have multiple options available to you, steer clear. Best part of the process, reaffirming how good I have it where I am.

30 min Phone call w/ recruiter 30 min video call w/ hiring manager Pretty basic questions about background and experience w/ data modeling. Feedback was given back fairly shortly after interview

The interview process was facilitated through a recruiter, the one-on-one with the hiring manager was done through video interview. Overall, I thought the process was positive though final decision transparency was lacking.

Good first two negative attitude from third interviewer who was grumpy and dismissive right from the first second. I would not want to work with him anyway. Would be a terrible boss
