J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez InfluxData (San Francisco, CA) en oct. 2020
Entretien
The entire interview process was amazing! Very relaxed and everyone I interviewed with was very nice and respectful. Lefan, the recruiting manager, was amazing and super responsive throughout the whole process.
From the very beginning, I was guaging the culture at InfluxData and I am super excited to join now as the culture is a super match for me.

Entretien
I was referred by a connection within the company and heard from Lefan (recruiting manager) 4 days later.
I'd reached the midpoint of interviewing at a few other companies by that stage, so I was worried about completing the process in time. Lefan did a great job pushing the process through quickly, scheduling both the eng. manager and tech lead screens within the week, and a 4-stage virtual onsite soon after that. Since I was under pressure from competing offers, I was given a "preview" offer verbally before the reference-check stage began so I'd know if it was worth pushing back on my other options.

The interview process had no trick questions, and was not focused on traditional "coding tests". Even though there weren't coding tests, the interview process was still quite technical, we had in depth conversations about complicated technical situations.
The interviews were all pleasant and conversational.
