I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PagerDuty (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
My interview experience at PagerDuty was excellent. I was first contacted by a recruiting manager, who set up an initial phone interview with an engineering manager. That interview was a typical get-to-know-you phone chat, followed by a screen-shared coding challenge. The challenge was moderate in difficulty; she was more trying to gauge how well I communicate my thought process.
A few days later, I was invited to an onsite. This was scheduled for about 1.5 to 2 weeks out. The onsite lasted about 4 hours, with 4 separate interviews. The interviews ranged from conversational to different types of coding challenges. The great thing was that they let me use my own laptop and setup I was comfortable with, and I was allowed to use any online resources I needed. They don't want to know that you've memorized all of the methods, but rather that you are able to find what you need and communicate your process.
Two days after the interview, I was contacted with an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I can't give any specifics; just make sure you are familiar with anything from API/Rails level to front-end.
Initial hr call, a hiring manager call and then two technicals, a lot of behavioral questions . Unironically had a great time interviewing, which cannot be said for most companies these days.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PagerDuty in Oct 2025
Interview
Really quick and easy process. Started with a recruiter screen,, then had a 30 minute call with the hiring manager, then two hour-long technical interviews (live coding challenge (not LeetCode) and system design), and finally a 30-minute call with the senior manager over the whole team. Recruiter reached back out within a day of each interview to schedule the next step. Overall, the whole process took roughly three weeks and was really smooth and enjoyable the whole time.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PagerDuty (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2024
Interview
Found the interview questions to be a typical experience, however my interviewer joined the interview noticably annoyed. They were quite unfriendly during the process and eager to end the interview. I knew within 5 minutes there would be no callback - there was not.
