      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Scale (New York, NY) in Mar 2024

      Interview

      Recruiter Screen Technical Screen HM Screen Onsite (Technical, System Design, Values] Overall very fair interview process, although be prepared to be interviewed exclusively by people ~1 year out of college, even for senior/staff roles. The average age at Scale seems incredibly young, for better or for worse.

      I interviewed at Scale

      Interview

      Interesting tech screen,, decent prep by recruiter. Final round had a lot of interviews. Mixed experience overall with some intervieweers seeming distracted and disorganized. I appear to have been ghosted after completing final round about a week ago. No word either way, despite reaching out to recruiting coordinator. No debrief after interview either

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Scale in Mar 2025

      Interview

      Call with a recruiter, an online tech screen on a well-known coding interview platform, and then a meeting with the hiring manager. Then some more rounds if you make it past this. The tech screening is probably the worst I've taken part in - not hard just a bad experience. For the tech screen, you jump on a call and are told to answer some questions that have a SUPER long description in a very short space of time. Just make sure you code quickly. They don't even seem interested in thought processes or communication.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Read long descriptions and write code extremely quickly.
