A 75-Minute Causal Inference OA That Left Me Guessing

New here, and internships are so hard to find. This is the second OA I've gotten after countless mass applications, and long story short, it's been two weeks with no response so I'm assuming it's dead. The whole thing was about 75 minutes and had to be completed within a week. First there were two coding questions, and you could use Python or R — both coding questions were under the same setting.…

Eleven Rounds, Two and a Half Months, and a Hiring Manager Swap

I just got an early update from the recruiter. The email said they're still gathering information, but "not a perfect fit, unfortunately." I interviewed 11 times total, met with 10 different people, and the whole process was absurd — it dragged on for two and a half months.

11 Rounds, 10 People, and a Hiring Manager Swapped Mid-Loop

I just got an early update from the recruiter. The email said they're still gathering information, but unfortunately it's "not a perfect fit." I did 11 rounds in total and met 10 people. The whole process was absolutely ridiculous, spanning a full two and a half months. Referral HR screening: Netflix culture, personal background, why I'm job hunting First technical round: pure SQL, had to actuall…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.

Share your own

Every published experience earns 50 XP, and each of the first 3 likes it receives in a day earns you 10 XP more. Likes must come from established accounts; like-for-like swaps and likes from your own second account are not paid. Write it while the details are fresh — the round order, the exact prompts, and how much time you were given are what the next reader needs.
