I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PagerDuty (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
- Phone call with recruiter
- Call with hiring manager - technical know how
- OnSite (System Design, Api, Data Pipe line and call with hiring manager)
The interview was very straight forward and easy.Lunch was provided.
Got call from the recruiter that interview was good but they think not good fit for the team.

Question 1
Did you contribute for any technologies chosen for the projects?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PagerDuty in May 2023
Interview
5 rounds. 1 recruiter, 2 behavioral, 1 live coding and 1 system design. Had to prep a design diagram in advance for the system design round. The entire process took almost a month. Thought everything went well and got a positive feedback on all the rounds but at the end they said they were going with someone else. Super weird.

Question 1
- Way too many behavioral questions for a tech role, until you get exhausted. - Live coding had to do with creating a simple UI. Nothing complicated. - System design walkthrough on any current/prev project of your choosing.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PagerDuty (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2020
Interview
The process started with a standard phone screen from the recruiter. About a week later I had a phone interview with the hiring manager with standard behavioral questions, e.g. regarding working in a team and software developer successes and failures.
The on-site interview was three segments plus lunch. A 1:1 session with the hiring the hiring manager drilling in on more technical discussions regarding SW architecture and process. There was a live coding challenge where you can use any environment you want. There was also a database modeling session given a product idea to implement. The latter two sessions included remote team members dialing in. The interview ended with a brief overview of the company and benefits with the recruiter.
Overall I thought the process was straightforward and fair, though I had wish there was more time to dive into what the engineering teams were actually working on. I also generally got the vibe that interviewers other than the hiring manager were super invested in the interview; I never heard a couple of the folks speak during the sessions.
