      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      May 26, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Marqeta in May 2020

      Interview

      You would think that companies in time of crises will be more kind and understanding about the people that coming forward and interviewing. This is not the place. Just like other reviews here, Marqeta interviewing people just to give their own crew experience in interviewing. After talking with the recruiter, i was setup a phone screening. I answered the technical question and the interviewers said they were impressed. That message / feedback continued with the recruiter as well which said that the panel was impressed with my skill. So far so good, but that is where it ended. The full loop was suppose to take 3.5 - 4 hours long. I was setup for only 2.5 hours (flag number 1) The loop was fairly easy, with some design question, coding question and behavior questions. During the design, the feedback was all positive and they were impressed. Coding question, I was able to solve the given question and the follow up questions as well. The interviewer didn't seem professional and inexperience (Flag number two) Behavior had only great things to say and was impressed with my answers and communication. You would think after these loops you would get an offer. I received an email from the recruiter couple of hours after the loop was over if I can jump on a call after few days to talk about feedback about the loop (Flag number three). They didn't care to say at this point if I got an offer or not, all they care about is how the loop were. Only after I pressed i got the "news" that I didn't get in. A company that spends other people's time just to do fake interviews and especially in time that we live in, is a company I wouldn't want to work for. You should do yourself a favor and don't interview with them, it will be a waste of your time and energy!!

      I applied online. I interviewed at Marqeta (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      Recruiter call, followed by a screen share coding round and a Hiring manager interview.( interviewers were really friendly and giving the pointers on the approach ). Recruiter reached out to schedule 3 more rounds ( 2 behavioural 45 mins each ) and a system design ( screen share - Lucid chart ). Overall process took 2.5 weeks and the recruiter gives immediate feedback after each round ( without wasting much time). It was a very smooth process.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Marqeta in Jun 2024

      Interview

      I had a job interview with Marqeta, and after talking to the recruiter, I was invited to the next stage, which was an online coding test. I was asked to design an LRU cache, which I did completely and tested as well. The next day, I received a rejection letter with reasons that were not convincing at all. I felt that the decisions were very subjective and not based on clear principles and rules. I feel like I wasted my energy and time.

      Question 1

      Implement LRU cache in Java
