      Member Of Technical Staff Interview

      Dec 14, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cockroach Labs (New York, NY) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      It is an open source interview. That is, they advertise and explicitly state the interview process on their website. It is a fairly standard tech interview process. That is: 1 - Initial non-tech phone call with a recruiter 2 - Online coderpad style interview 3 - onsite tech interview The only gimmicks they add are an interview where you walk through a design problem that you choose, typically something you designed in the past. The second gimmick they preach is that everyone interviewing you wasn't allowed to look at your resume, in order to "eliminate bias".

      Question 1
