Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not a tech recruiter telling me they will not ask a DS coding interview but they asked a DS coding interview.
I was hoping for a doable approach coding question. Instead, they asked me a straight-up leetcode type of question that needs "ah-ha" type of solutions.
This isn't the right thing to ask to assess coding ability. I can guarantee the interviewers wouldn't have solved the question either. Irrelevant to the real work.
I applied online. I interviewed at Shipt (Birmingham, AL) in Apr 2025
Interview
"4" rounds
1. screening call
2. Hiring manager (semi-technical discussion)
3. Principle engineer (easiest technical I've ever done)
4. Four panel interviews with senior devs, junior devs, design people, product manager
Every interviewer was polite, respectful and pleasant. Shipt seems like a really sweet place to work with great people.
The whole process took about 7 hours spread across a month.
Ghosted.
Followed up
ghosted again :(
how sad

Question 1
The technical assessment was just wiring up something to use the context api. Refresh yourself prior to going in, but it may just be a way to see how you interact with documentation.
Good luck!
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Shipt in Oct 2022
Interview
Apply -> Recruiter call -> First round zoom interview On zoom call, the interviewer introduced themselves, then my self intro. There were some basic background questions. The interviewer seemed like he was in a hurry and sort of was expressing the impatience. It wasn't very satisfactory or professional for a company that's try to hire talented engineers to scale up its platform and compete with instacart.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Tell me a project that challenged you? 2. Tell me about a time when you had to make some architectural decision? 3. How did you take the feedback from senior architects? 4. Design a SPA application with millions of users using daily.
