I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at 8x8 (San Jose, CA) in May 2014
Interview
Attended their onsite interview. Was given 3 programming questions, an hour to crack them.
1. Implement an LRU cache
2. Implement BST traversal and search for a given node. If exists, print path to that node
3. Producer Consumer problem
Once done with the coding, was asked to mail them to the HR. This round was immediately followed by face to face interview with one of the engineers. Questions were mostly about Java
- Difference between abstract class and interface
- How does a heap work
- How to implement connection pool etc
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I answered all questions, the interviewer seemed happy. But got a rejection letter after a couple of days. No reason given. I think their system is to eliminate good engineers and keep the average/mediocre ones.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at 8x8 in Apr 2022

Question 1
Theory questions and problems oriented on algorithms and efficiency
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at 8x8 (Cluj-Napoca) in Mar 2022
Interview
Hard OA focused on algorithms and data structures. The next interview was a light talk over the phone with the HR. The final interview focused on your general CS knowledge (in my case front-end development).
I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at 8x8 (San Jose, CA)
Interview
Technical recruiter reached out for a 20 min interview. Then one hour technical phone screen. Onsite was four hours (no lunch, and very small break in between). The onsite needs to be better. Bad way to treat a prospective candidate. Interview level was in between easy and average.
