      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mozilla

      Interview

      Applied for position online. Soon after, recruiter contacted me, we've set up a call. Couple of days later, I've received link to Hackerrank challenge. I had a small follow-up question regarding the deadline, which I've sent by email and got no answer. I've submited the challenge anyway. Few weeks after, I've received invite for a Zoom call. 5 further interviews followed. Process was pretty interesting: besides standard coding tasks I had to do a code review, talk about Firefox architecture and architecture of a projects I worked on, my wishlist for Mozilla products and the way I would've implemented it. I really liked that part of interview and I had the impression that I am doing quite well. The only minor complaint I have here — it was not really clear where am I in interviewing process at the moment and how many interviews left to go. After the last interview, Mozilla went to radio silence. After couple of weeks, I've sent follow up email and received no answer. Few more weeks passed by and I receive very generic "copy-paste and insert name" rejection email. I've thanked the recruiter and asked if it is possible to get more specific feedback — and got no answer. Ultimately, I would've marked this experience as a positive one if communication with recruiters was not so one-sided. Of course, company does not owe me anything, but after 2 month of interviews I feel like providing some feedback or at least some answer to my emails would be a basic act of politeness. In the end, I don't think I'll want to repeat this experience and I probably would not apply for job at Mozilla again.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Couple of standard JS trivia questions - Do a code review for a pull request - Pick up a feature in Firefox and describe how you would've implemented it.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Mozilla

      Interview

      I had a phone screen with a tech recruiter that went well, followed by a take-home coding assignment. A few days after submitting it, I was invited to interview with the hiring manager. After that, I completed two coding interviews: one focused on problem-solving, the other on pair programming. I heard back and didn't advance to the next round.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Pair programming - Walk us through a code review of this code.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Mozilla in May 2022

      Interview

      The interview process was similar to others I've done, but the quality of the interviews was much higher. Everyone I talked to was great and the questions they asked tested your abilities and knowledge rather than some obscure gotcha type questions. Few different steps - call with recruiter - behavioral call with hiring manager - 3 - 45 minute rounds (behavioral, technical, systems) - sent an offer around a week later

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typical behavioral questions - difficult project - success at work, failure at work - etc The technical portion was pretty specific to the type of work that I would be doing. It was very engaging and made you think. I imagine this is different based on each role they are hiring for. The systems questions were also pretty specific to the type of system that I'd be working with, so they probably vary based on the position. It was high-level and more conversational rather than anything too detailed.

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mozilla in May 2022

      Interview

      The interview process was very nice. After the initial recruiter call, they had detailed to me exactly what the process would be, and followed through every step of the way. The first round was a 30 minute phone screen with the recruiter. There was then a preliminary behavioral interview for the 2nd round, and the third round was three 45 minute back-to-back interviews that covered another behavioral interview, a hands on coding exercise (real world exercise, not whiteboarding), and finally a code review. The recruiter was communicative throughout the entire process, and I actually found it very refreshing.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The behavioral interviews were very straightforward, and asked the typical questions that you would expect in those.
