The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GitHub in Apr 2022
Interview
Applied online. Waited a month and then a recruiter reached out and I was able to start an online assessment. Then waited another month to actually interview with the team.
I did really like the fact that GitHub is used for the actual interview process. They also didn’t have any stupid hacker rank type questions. Overall very fair in terms of coding assessments.
However, the part that makes me mad is the complete lack of communication. I’ve literally put hours of my own time into this interview process. In addition to taking the day off for my half day of interviews. I’ve had zero communication from the recruiter after the last interview. No follow up, next steps or even the decency to say “thanks but no thanks”. Completely ghosted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not going to spoil the questions but very standard behavioral topics.
There were a total of four interview rounds: a recruiter screening, a hiring manager interview, and a loop consisting of system design and coding rounds. The interviews went very well, and after each round, the interviewers seemed highly impressed and mentioned that I would hear back from the recruiter soon. However, I was ultimately rejected because the decision came down to a very close comparison between me and another candidate. Additionally, the recruiter was not very helpful throughout the process, which made the experience more frustrating.
Gave OA after passing the interview screening. Recruiter will reach out it was only 1 problem in the OA on hackerrank to solve and recruiter will reach out immediately after that’s been solved
I applied online. I interviewed at GitHub in Feb 2025
Interview
Interviewed for SWII. Was straightforward. Had a talk with a recruiter and asked basic behavior questions then told me on the call that I am being pushed to interview day. I was given what the questions might be, Interview day was 2 technical interviews and one cultural. Technical questions was to build a game of battlefield and the other was the set up some HTTP calls.
