I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub
Interview
The interview process included two HR screens, followed by a DS and Algo problem-solving zoom video call. It also included Low-level design questions.
I got positive feedback for the rounds and then got an invite for the next rounds, which included:
1. HLD
2. Leadership and again HLD
3. DB&I round (this is specific to GitHub culture)
All the rounds went pretty well, and I dint get any response from the recruiter thereafter.
In the HLD design, the interviewer asked me whether I would be working remotely since the recruiter had agreed it will be a remote opportunity and I would not have to relocate.
However, I feel once the manager got to know I was opting for remote they were reluctant with my process.
Bad experience from the recruiter since they did not bother to even respond.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at GitHub (London, England) in Sept 2025
Interview
First stage recruiter call (45 minutes) which went well, both sides confirmed we'd like to progress to the next stage and the process was outlined. I was subsequently ghosted for 8 weeks, only getting a response when I emailed saying I'd withdrawn my application - to tell me that the team was being "rethought" and the job may not actually be available anymore but they'll let me know (they never did).
