I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at GitHub (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2021
Interview
Probably the worst interview process I've ever had with a large company. The interviews themself are fine, but the cycle and schedule are completely unorganized. It was tough to understand the roadmap and get an idea of what is next or what interviews are about, so I felt disconnected.
While they engaged with me to start the interview cycle, the hiring manager was unfriendly from the beginning for some reason, and I had to ping them many times to get any update. Overall had 3 rounds of interviews. After the last one, I had to wait more than 9 days to get any feedback again (and got it only because I reached them out again), so I decided to exit the cycle.

Question 1
Signed NDA so cannot share too much. Usual coding, system design, and leadership principles questions.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at GitHub (London, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
First stage recruiter call (45 minutes) which went well, both sides confirmed we'd like to progress to the next stage and the process was outlined. I was subsequently ghosted for 8 weeks, only getting a response when I emailed saying I'd withdrawn my application - to tell me that the team was being "rethought" and the job may not actually be available anymore but they'll let me know (they never did).
