I'm not so sure aout those statistics ... Are they published ? The trouble is the whole industry is copying those practices.
In other industries/sectors, when you have 15/20 years of experienced, are you grilled, tested and probed like a junior ? I wonder.
- coachdarek 7y agoI'm not sure if those statistics are published, but FAANG companies drive all of their business decisions with data; recruiting shouldn't be any different. > when you have 15/20 years of experienced, are you grilled, tested and probed like a junior? We get this question a lot. We just worked with an engineer with 20 years of experience. He signed up for CodeBreakers because he knew that although he's a much more experienced programmer than I, he was aware that he needed help with the whiteboard interview if he wanted FAANG. His Google onsite interview had 3 data structures and algorithm interviews, 1 system design, and 1 behavioral/leadership interview. Junior engineers have 4 data structures interviews and 1 behavioral now. 80% of the interview is the exact same.
- ultrasounder 7y agoI can attest to this as someone who went through a hazing routine called “whiteboard screening” at the fruit company for senior EE roles. Because I was a local candidate was invited on 3 different occasions for whiteboard screening and I didn’t progress onto the onsite. Sigh! I have been in the industry for 13 years now and seriously considering a pivot. Guess why I am on this thread. This hazing routine is the norm for STEM these days Mechanical/product included. Tho the supply demand is flipped on those.
