I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Quizlet in Jan 2023
Interview
a recruiter call followed by a hiring manager match round. The phone screen is a 2 hr case study (1 hr you silently working on a design, 1hr present and discuss with interviews) after you passed that, it's 1hr coding (non-leetcode style practical coding) + 1hr code review practice + another 30min hiring manager chat the final stage is the ceo chat, a lot of behavior questions.. where they try to aggressively find what type of person you're. overall, the technical rounds are positive experience, but not really for the behavior round. Got rejected after a week without feedback.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Quizlet (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Two rounds of coding interviews and one system design for senior/staff level. One of the coding interview was about finding flaws in existing code, which I thought was very practical. Another involved some amount of design in addition to implementation. Again a very practical scenario. None of the questions were the typical leet code style algorithms.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Quizlet in Jul 2024
Interview
The phone screen with the manager lasted 75 minutes, blending coding and behavioral questions. The interview included a technical section focusing on simple recursion, where problem-solving and coding abilities were assessed. Additionally, the behavioral portion evaluated communication skills, teamwork, and cultural fit within the company. This comprehensive approach provided a balanced evaluation of both technical prowess and interpersonal skills.
