Fitbit Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fitbit (Boston, MA) in September 2017.

Interview

Half hour phone screen followed by ~4 hours of in person and teleconference interviews. Additionally the hiring person stayed in touch with me between the phone screen and in-person interviews and then after the in-person.

I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Fitbit (San Francisco, CA) in November 2015.

Interview

I went through two phone calls for the interview process. Both the recruiter and hiring manger were a pleasure to talk to and asked thoughtful questions. We talked about the company culture as a whole as well as the specifics for the position. In the end the position wasn't the right fit for me as I was over qualified so they decided to move on with other candidates.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ months. I interviewed at Fitbit.

Interview

I had two phone interviews in December which went fine. In January, my recruiter told me that they were going on a "hiring freeze", and I would hear back at the end of January. I had an offer from another company with a deadline, which I communicated to my recruiter. The end of January passes by with no word from her. February comes, and even after multiple emails, still no word. Not even a rejection-- my recruiter actually just cut off all contact with me. Terrible experience.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5+ months. I interviewed at Fitbit in January 2014.

Interview

Recruiter contacted me through Linkedin, we sent a few emails about the position and other doubt that i had. Finally we schedule a phone call with recruiter and one of the team leaders. Phone call was really good, just chatting about my interest in joining Fitbit and what cool stuff they were doing, which got me really excited, so recruiter said that will contact me to schedule an online coding interview or a on-site interview... NEVER received that email or phone call. Five months later i received another email from a new recruiter asking if NOW i have interest in new opportunities in Fitbit, since it was NOT of interest then... terrible

Interview

Process went very quickly, applied online, spoke to the recruiter and hiring manager, and was on-site soon thereafter. My schedule was packed at my previous job, so I appreciated that the coding test wasn't too demanding on my schedule. The day on-site consisted of a very full day of technical interviews with everyone on my team. It was good to meet all the people I would be working with, but I was getting burned out towards the end. Left with a very good impression of the company.

Reasons for Declining

Company felt too large - not in a bad way, but personally I felt that I wanted to work somewhere smaller.

Interview

I applied online, and I got a phone screen in about two weeks. They didn't make the first designated call time, and I emailed them back asking for another interview. They asked also about what I was interested in, what the company was doing, and why I applied to fitbit.

Interview

Fitbit reached out to me through linkedin, but took 2 months to get the interview process started. Interviewed for the android team and took about 2 weeks to finish the phone interviews. Waited for 2 months (with constant follow-ups) for a decision. Android team was cool but interview process was terrible. Avoid like the plague. Questions were extremely easy which was surprising to me that I didn't get an offer.

Interview

Got contacted via LinkedIn. There was an initial call with the recruiter about the opening, team, etc. This was followed by a call with the Hiring manager. There was discussion about my background, interests, the teams and projects. There was a simple coding question on collabedit. After this, there was an onsite interview with 5 people (2 pairs + 1 single interviewer) including the hiring manager. I did not do very well in the second interview. The question itself was easy, but I had a bit of trouble understanding the interviewer (soft-spoken and accent) and the way the question was framed. I think it would have been fine if I had spent a couple of minutes clarifying the requirements, which I did not do. That's on me - not on the interviewer.
Rest of the interviews were really nice, and I enjoyed the questions. Everyone was super nice, including the interview coordination and the recruiters. Unfortunately, the team decided to pass because of the second interview. It was really nice of the recruiter to give me call and inform me about the decision. I also got valuable feedback. That was really unexpected. Overall, a wonderful experience. Given a chance, I would definitely work there and contribute to the company.

Interview

The progress is moving fairly fast. Firstly, a one-hour coding challenge, then one one-hour phone interview, then onsite. I would like to say that the overall experience is good, and all the people I met is nice. The coding challenge is time-limited and maybe a little hard given the time. The questions are simple leetcode problems.
