Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. Fui entrevistado pela Marqeta (Oakland, CA) em jan. de 2021
Entrevista
The process was straightforward. Started with a technical screening which was a pair programming session with a Sr. Software Eng. After the screening they set up 4 follow-up sessions. The first was an architectural design that had questions based on database table updates, optimizations, and bug tracing. The second was behavioral, with a Sr. Eng Manager and discussed previous projects and decision making (I mentioned interest in managment route). After that came a background interview with another manager with similar questions around previous projects, and decisions made a leader. Last session was a pair programming session with 2 engineers, where we designed a data structure and functionality using basic arrays.

Recruiter call, followed by a screen share coding round and a Hiring manager interview.( interviewers were really friendly and giving the pointers on the approach ).
Recruiter reached out to schedule 3 more rounds ( 2 behavioural 45 mins each ) and a system design ( screen share - Lucid chart ).
Overall process took 2.5 weeks and the recruiter gives immediate feedback after each round ( without wasting much time). It was a very smooth process.

Entrevista
I had a job interview with Marqeta, and after talking to the recruiter, I was invited to the next stage, which was an online coding test. I was asked to design an LRU cache, which I did completely and tested as well.
The next day, I received a rejection letter with reasons that were not convincing at all. I felt that the decisions were very subjective and not based on clear principles and rules.
I feel like I wasted my energy and time.
