      Lead Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 24, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Oakland, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Marqeta (Oakland, CA) in Jun 2020

      Interview

      HR recruiters are well prepared and keep constant communication of the overall process. I did not like the way technical screen was conducted by the engineer. Rather than discussing the question, when I started explaining how I would solve the question I got interrupted and told “no need to explain, just start coding.” Further, my interview link got changed at the last minute and interviewer made it sound like it was my fault for being late when I had been waiting for almost 10 minutes in the previous link. As a first impression, it did not signal a collaborative and empathetic engineering culture. I should not assume the interviewer is a representation of the company, but interviewers need better training when conducting technical screens. Overall process took 2 weeks (HR call + tech screen)

      Lead Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Marqeta (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      I interviewed for the lead engineer role. Question was leetcode medium level, which I had no difficulty coming up with a solution. I am unsure why I was rejected. They required me to code it, compile it, run it and write unit tests for the same and ensure the tests pass successfully. I presented my solution. While writing, I wanted to refer how to split my string using string.split. As far as I understand, anyone should be able to look that up without being considered a negative aspect. Other than that, I coded the whole thing, ran it (which I think is ridiculous to do but still did). I also explained my testing strategy and ran 90% of the unit tests successfully. Is this not enough these days to accept an experienced candidate? What has this industry come down to?

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Marqeta (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Very impressed with their people and their hiring process. Everybody was very intelligent, kind, and personable, and made me feel very warm and welcome. The process was extremely organized, and made me feel Marqeta is well structured. Top notch experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I went through a recruiting phone screening, a phone interview which focuses on fit and some on technical abilities, online code test, and finally an on site visit. The on site consisted of three interviews consisting of code tests which covered different skillsets (data algorithms, app structure, React, and CSS), as well as 3 other interviews with various that focused on fit and gave me plenty of time to ask my own questions.
