I applied online. I interviewed at ThousandEyes in Jun 2020
Interview
Similar to other people posted about the interview experience, I was asked to solve the rate limiter problem in phone screen and was able to execute with output. How ever feed back was not having strong technical skills.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ThousandEyes (San Francisco, CA) in May 2020
Interview
Quick response. Not sure what kind of people they look for though.
After initial intro we started working on coding questions.
Asked the minStack question, i quickly told them the answer and mentioned that i knew this already so if they want they could give me a different question or i could code the same question.
The interviewer was prepared though and they had another question. Kudos to them for this.
Then they asked me a rate limiter question.
I had to design a rate limiter to limit the number of calls to an api function.
I coded this up and we ran the code and tested a few cases and everything looked good.
Then I asked a few questions about the product. I dug a little deeper and started asking about if they do any learning or smart reporting based on error/attack patterns as it is a network visualization product. After this we wrapped up the call and a day later i got an email that they will not move forward and that i was a good culture fit, but they were looking for stronger technical skills. I might be wrong about this but I felt like I my technical skills were okay but I was not a good culture fit for that team but your guess is as good as mine.
The recruiter scheduled an interview and never called on the scheduled time nor informed of any change. No response either. Would be good if they can be professional enough to inform of changes or cancellations once you have requested for a time slot.
