      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Twitch (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2022

      Interview

      A Twitch recruiter reached out to me. Following that, I had a call with her. Then, I had a one hour long call with the hiring manager, where he mostly went over my experience, etc. No technical questions as such. After this, I had my virtual on-site round, consisting of 5 one hour long interviews. There are two coding rounds, one soft skills round and 2 architecture rounds. Remember that they will ask you behavioral questions (based on the leadership principles, etc.) IN EVERY ROUND, not just the soft skills round. When it came to my soft skills round, the interviewer thought it would be appropriate to turn that into an architecture round as well. So, in all, I had 2 coding and 3 architecture rounds (which I was not informed about in the pre interview calls), with behavioral questions spread across every round. The thing I was the most disappointed (and angered) about was that when I asked the recruiter for feedback regarding my interview and what my shortcomings were (so that I could improve them in the future), they said "We do not provide any feedback to the candidate". I mean, wtf is this behavior? This is the most condescending a company has ever been to me. I'd never in my life apply to Twitch again. The least you can do after rejecting a candidate is give them some feedback, so that it helps them. Absolutely horrible experience.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Given an array of integers of at least length > 15, allow the first 15 integers to pass without inspection. Starting at the 16th integer: Return the first integer in the list that is not a sum of any two integers found in the PREVIOUS 15 integers in the list. If all integers in the array after the first 15 pass this test, return 0. The array only includes positive integers, but is not guaranteed to be strictly increasing or decreasing. The array can include duplicates, but will not include 0. Input: [55, 59, 3, 25, 37, 2, 38, 58, 6, 53, 55, 84, 45, 89, 90, 58, 31, 8, 122, 59, 100, 116, 39, 97, 123, 218, 130] // [ 55, 59, 3, 25, 37, 2, 38, 58, 6, 53, 55, 84, 45, 89, 90 ] // Remember [114, 58, 80... 62 .... length = 210] Elaborate: Index 0-14: Passed without any code as part of problem statement Index 15: 58 is the sum of 3 (idx 2) and 55 (idx 0) (Go on)… Index 16: 31 is the sum of 6 (idx 8) and 25 (idx 3) (Go on)… Index 17: 8 is the sum of 6 (idx 8) and 2 (idx 5) (Go on)… Please note that the numbers considered are always the previous 15 numbers in the list, and not necessarily the first 15 numbers. Is any number NOT a sum of some other two numbers in the prior 15 numbers?

      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Twitch (New York, NY) in Dec 2021

      Interview

      Didn't go through the full process but had an initial call with the recruiter and then an interview with the hiring manager. The initial interview with the recruiter is pretty standard in terms of a very general view of the job, some things that twitch offers and what you can expect with the interview process. The second interview was with the hiring manager (Director that you would report to) on that went into detail on what you can expect on the job, tech stack you're most likely to work on and how the team is structured. He gave me a chance to ask any questions related to the job and he was nice about answering the deep questions I asked him. After that it seemed that all was well to move on the next interview but it was never scheduled to which I asked if I missed a schedule interview. I can't tell if I did something really wrong or if they decided to move on with other candidates. Seems something is really off with the recruitment team and hiring manager might not be on the same page.
