      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Planet

      Interview

      Phone screen, then take-home app challenge, then on-site interview. Overall the process at Planet would have been a positive experience even despite technical issues (the Zoom meeting kept timing out at 40m), except for the final interview during the onsite. I had enjoyed all of the previous interviews (even the ones I struggled at), but the last 2 people who interviewed me were arrogant and hostile to the point I felt uncomfortable. At this point I definitely stumbled over my answers, but I have never felt disrespected like this during an interview. To top off the experience, I never heard back after the onsite even after reaching out to the recruiter. This has not happened to me before. The very least a company can do if they are rejecting someone after an onsite is to give a courtesy "no". I had enjoyed talking and meeting with the other people there, and the technical problems they are working on are very interesting. It is too bad that Planet enables this kind of toxic behavior.

      Question 1

      The on-site consisted of systems design, troubleshooting, and overall fit.

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Planet

      Interview

      I was contacted a few days after applying. The process involved a recruiter screen, interview with hiring manager, take-home tech assessment, and four individual panel interviews with the team members. It took place over a couple weeks. All interviews were a mix of culture fit and technical topics. I had a lot of questions throughout the interviews and I was encouraged to lead the discussions. Some interviewers were engaged and enthusiastic, and others seemed distracted. There's a lot of great work going on at Planet, and if there is another suitable opportunity in the future, I would apply again.

      Question 1

      If you believe there is an error in a fellow employee's code, how would you address it with them?

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Planet in Jun 2022

      Interview

      I applied online and the process took three months. It was started by a phone call of recruiter followed by a zoom meeting with hiring manager. It continued by doing a pretty simple home assignment and talking with five more tech employees. After doing many interviews with positive feedbacks and spending three months, I expected to receive the offer but I received the rejection letter. Why? I do not know because the recruiter mentioned that we do not usually return the reason but your score was 10 of 10; we hire again soon, please apply another time. WEIRD!
