I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Scale (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Amazing company, but they didn't accept me. Super cool to see their work though. Wish I would've gotten it... The interviewers were very nice and super smart. They were experts in their field, one of them was Ruben Mayer who apparently will be joining Meta.
Interesting tech screen,, decent prep by recruiter. Final round had a lot of interviews.
Mixed experience overall with some intervieweers seeming distracted and disorganized.
I appear to have been ghosted after completing final round about a week ago. No word either way, despite reaching out to recruiting coordinator. No debrief after interview either
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Scale in Mar 2025
Interview
Call with a recruiter, an online tech screen on a well-known coding interview platform, and then a meeting with the hiring manager. Then some more rounds if you make it past this. The tech screening is probably the worst I've taken part in - not hard just a bad experience.
For the tech screen, you jump on a call and are told to answer some questions that have a SUPER long description in a very short space of time. Just make sure you code quickly. They don't even seem interested in thought processes or communication.

Question 1
Read long descriptions and write code extremely quickly.

Interview
Overall well organized. Recruiter was very responsive and timely. Since they are interviewing for senior roles they have high expectations. The company is growing and is at the forefront of the industry.
