      Interview

      I got the opportunity from a recruiter, and received the interview in several days. I was well prepared for the cloud, database replica, kubernetes, microservice, monolithic application decomposition. However I was rejected for "typing slow".

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gopuff in Aug 2023

      Interview

      I applied on the website and got response from the recruiter. First round was the typical recruiter chat about background, role, and the interview process. Second round with hiring manager, again background, projects you worked on, but this round included technical questions and a coding component as well. Third round had 3 sections: system design, coding, critical thinking. All sections were reasonable and doable in the allowed time, and interviewers were well prepared and communicated requirements well.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Typical system design and coding. All questions were practical problems, kind of simplified versions of what you might encounter in the position.

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gopuff (Boston, MA) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Met with hiring manager. Confirmed I was a backend engineer with no recent full stack or cloud experience. Talked about my last 7 years experience at two top tier employers. Started coding challenge. Given a generic platform set up for Java. Asked a design question about the design of a full stack application on the cloud. After several minutes of describing REST interfaces and distributed databases in multiple regions was told that I was not giving the data layer design that was wanted and the interview abruptly ended. The whole interview was unprofessional and discouraging. Neither my resume, the conversation with the recruiter, nor the interview had me claim frontend web server experience in the cloud and yet the entire technical portion was focused on this. Gopuff is a young company with young talent. Recommend steering away from them until they mature their interview process.
