      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Scale in Oct 2022

      Interview

      A standard coding interview. The interviewer is nice , but looks like he was busy everyday. Scheduling the interview is a mess. The coordinator often replies late and the interview is rescheduled for several times.

      I interviewed at Scale

      Interview

      Pretty in line with what others are saying. Heavy coding rounds, questions about past work experiences, and standard behavioral questions. Interviewers did not seem very engaged. Interviews sometimes felt long.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Scale (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2026

      Interview

      After an initial online assessment, I had a 60 minute live coding interview. The main problem focused on designing and implementing a task prioritization system, where tasks had to be managed based on priority and constraints. The interview was practical and implementation focused rather than purely algorithmic. This was not the superday, just the OA followed by the live coding round.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Scale in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Many rounds of implementation heavy coding, honestly got tiring and boring. Plus behavioral and debugging round, which was excruciating. The work they were talking about sounded extremely boring and maybe unethical. Some interviewers were good but some just turned their camera off and were silent the whole for the coding round. I would not work here if I received the offer.
