      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      26 July 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Codecademy

      Interview

      Submitted an application, talked to a young sounding woman over the phone about Codecademy for around a half an hour. The representative was hard to understand at time over the phone, did not really try to sell the position so much as to talk about how great Codecademy was. Two days later got a rejection, which seemed odd due to the introductory nature of the phone call. If I had known, I would get cut at this level, I wouldn't have bothered applying. Judging by the rest of their hiring process stories here, I think I dodged a bullet.

      Interview questions [1]

      Hello, thank you for providing us with valuable feedback. We both appreciate it and use it as a learning opportunity. The purpose of our initial recruiter phone screen is to learn about your background, share company information, and determine position suitability based on past experiences. We very much value your time and only want to progress candidates in the recruiting process who we believe have a high likelihood of succeeding. We understand that we won’t always get it right, but we try our best to clearly communicate what we are looking for in a candidate for a specific role. If you think we really got it wrong, don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know why, we’re people just like you and make mistakes too! Again, thank you for sharing and taking the time to meet with our recruiting team.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Codecademy (New York, NY) in May 2023

      Interview

      Was referred internally. - A recruiter phone screen - Hiring manager screen - Take Home Project - Choose either API or UI - 3 Part Virtual Onsite - Frontend Coding (you'll do a project opposite of what you choose for your take home) - One Engineer - React project - Backend Take-home Assignment as well as go over Backend Architecture & Design. - One Engineer - Did not go over backend take-home assignment - The reason given was that the System Design question takes quite a bit of time. - Was asked to design a system for Educators, Students and Parents. - Include Models, API calls, Pseudo_UI descriptions - Hiring Manager Interview pt 2. - Two Engineering Managers (One is the hiring manager, the other is from another team) - This is a behavioral interview Ultimately was rejected, not just rejected, AUTO rejected. "no-reply" email Rejected without feedback. Pushed for feedback due to their values including "We are learners" and "We improve relentlessly" unfortunately they're an organization that operates on exclusivity and hypocrisy as well - "I’m afraid it is our policy to not share the responses of the interviewers."
