Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso ThousandEyes (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di lug 2019
Colloquio
The interview process was very smooth. Everyone was very friendly which is important as an interview is usually stressful experience. After each phase I received feedback quickly (usually the same or next day).
The first interview was really an informal chat with a director of engineering about the company. It was a good opportunity to ask questions about culture, projects, technology, product etc.
After that, there was a remote 1h interview which was focused on data structures (coding exercise).
The last phase was onsite - a full interview loop. I was asked to write some code (similar to the phone screen). The coding interviews were mainly algorithmic but you don't need to know any specific algorithm. It was more to check my ability of solving problems. There were also system design interview (with many follow-up questions) and some behavioural/background questions.
Overall, very positive experience. I had a chance to see the office, had lunch with the team and felt the atmosphere/culture of TE. I got even a t-shirt at the end of day!
At that time I had a few other offers (similar compensations) but decided to accept ThousandEyes because I enjoyed the culture (friendly people, fun environment), tech stack (I had a chance to ask plenty of questions about frameworks, practises, processes etc), product (networking is something which I wanted to learn more in details) and enthusiasm of people (that's important because it shows if people actually like working there).

Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso ThousandEyes (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
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.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso ThousandEyes nel mese di mar 2025
Colloquio
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.
