J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez ThousandEyes (Londres, Angleterre) en oct. 2019
Entretien
I applied via a recruiter.
First round was with Director of Engineering, went smoothly, just basic questions what projects I worked/work on, tech stack I used/use, my motivation, etc.
Afterwards he proposed to make an application for them to demonstrate my programming skills. I agreed to make the task, which I add to Interview Questions. That task took me more than a day of work. I send the task via recruiter to ThousandEyes, and there was no feedback, absolutely. I think this is a scam, as the company wasted so much of my time and did not provide anything back, even a small analysis of the solution.
Additionally, a recruiter has misled me a lot, as having read all the comments here at GlassDoor, I had doubts whether it worth even trying to work on the task, asked him if he has candidates who successfully passed this coding exercise stage and he said he does. After more then a week of silence when I asked him about feedback he said he does not have any and not sure about time he gets it.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Implement a periodic task scheduler in C++ (not plain C). The tasks in this scheduler will be network or system probes, possibly with a wide variety of execution times. It should be possible to set a separate execution frequency for each task. These tasks will return one or more "metrics" in the form of decimal values. Store both the raw metric data and some aggregate metrics (such as average, minimum, and maximum) in a SQLite database. The aggregate metrics should be kept up to date for each new data point that you collect. If the program is run multiple times, it should continue where it left off, augmenting the existing data.
Implement tasks to measure any two of the following metrics:
Time to connect to a TCP server, e.g. google.com port 80
ICMP ping time to a server, e.g. google.com
Total virtual memory size and current usage
Current physical memory used by your process
Total packets sent and received on a specific network interface
Notes
Some tasks are platform specific, so please indicate the platform used for development in your response. The program need only compile and run on one major operating system (whichever one you like).
Focus more on the scheduler and its design than the two tasks you choose.
Before submitting your source code, keep in mind that we will be reviewing your submission not just for completeness, but for code quality as well.

Entretien
Had 5 rounds
- DSA - Medium
- System design - PasteBin
- Language-specific coding
- DSA - Medium
- Hiring manager interview
Asked questions about threads, concurrency and algorithms.
Long confusing process that conflicted with prep materials I got.
Recruiter tells me I can go for several roles. The interviewers did not know this. Questions I asked were not really answered.
Screen: I thought I failed because the question was super long and interviewer kept interrupting me. Asked weird questions about tech I hardly used. I don't think my solution even worked because he was confusing, no idea how I got the onsite...
Onsite 1: Interviewer was not a good communicator, so I probably wouldn't have accepted an offer. Since he would have been a teammate.
Onsite 2: Technical difficulties so went 30 min over. Guy was nice but typically I have a ton of interviews, luckily was safe that day.
Onsite 3: Asked a lot of weird theory questions. Then if I asked him to remind me how xyz worked in Java, he didn't help.
Only 1 person was from the teams I was interviewing for.
I would not interview with this company again.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Screen: Super long question with over 100 lines of text.
Onsite 1: Design our product.
Onsite 2: use a custom tree to solve
Onsite 3: leetcode company tagged question

Entretien
1. prescribing with HR
2. 1st coding interview. I think it's pre-check.
3. Virtual Onsite interview:
- system design
- coding
- code review
- hiring manager + team fit
I passed all interview steps, and got 'template response' with "we already made an offer to another candidate"...
Highly do not recommend interviewing with this 'company'. It is waste of time.

3 - design our system
4 - review very strange code
5 - weird manager Joe interview.
