How to write an Interview Experience post
Official
Interview

Here are some suggestions for what to include in your post:

  1. The title should at least include the company and position and ideally would follow this format:

    Company Name | Position (level) | Location | Date     [Result (Reject, Passed, Offer)]

    For example, this could look like:

    Amazon | SDE2 | Seattle | Jul 2019 [Reject]
    Google | Intern | Zurich | Apr 2018 [Offer]
  2. In the post, please specify your current employment status, work experience and the position you are interviewing for, e.g.

    Status: New grad, BS CS Top 20 CS school
    Position: SDE1 at Amazon
    Location: Palo Alto, CA
    Date: January 13, 2019

    Note that you must include the interview date - an approximate date is fine.

  3. The interview process and format of each interview, for example:

    Technical phone screen (1 hour):
     - Behavioral questions
     - Algorithm question
    2nd technical phone screen (1.5 hours): ...
    Onsite (4 rounds): ... 
    Result: ...
  4. Your thoughts and anything else you’d like to add, e.g. culture, office, perks, lunch, accommodations, etc.

  5. Tag your post, e.g. google, london

Different stages of the same interview process belong in the same thread. For example, if you already shared your experience with a phone interview and you reach the onsite interview, you should update your post instead of creating a new one.
