      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 21, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Marqeta in Mar 2022

      Interview

      The same format as mentioned by others. Recruiter was unresponsive throughout the process and you got the feeling you were chattel. Also, when they reject you after the on-site, they just send a form letter email. Probably not considering this place in the future as a result of the experience. I have had plenty of recruiters in the past either let me know status of feedback or if there was a pending offer or decline on the position as well as calling with general feedback. Spending a half day or more of time on interviews for your company is a huge investment and you should respect that more. Sounds like I am not the only candidate where this is happening.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      LC medium, system design, and behavioral questions.

      Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear you felt disrespected during your interview process with us, that is never our intention. We do empower individual recruiters to choose when a phone call is necessary to close out an interview process, but it sounds like we missed the mark this time. If you'd like to share more about your interview experience, I'd love to connect directly. You can email me at careers@marqeta.com. I hope we will have the chance to earn your time once again.

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Marqeta (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Questions on distributed systems, system design principles on a whole.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Marqeta in Jun 2024

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Implement LRU cache in Java
