I was expected to implement production code (features for the main product, not bug fixes) from day 1, as a new grad. It was a horrible experience.

As someone who has been unemployed since graduation.... Getting no feedback, not even a rejection, after an onsite. Trivia games Getting rejected because of the lack of keywords on…

I'm not sure if these are red flags, but I've never had a positive experience when I've encountered the following items: 1) Focusing on the salary. Whenever $$$ is mentioned, the i…

In the first email, he did ask me explicitly to mention the timezone (I always do this anyway with every company). Anyway, the recruiter was a cool guy.

They're an international company, and they did highly emphasize that when asked for me to choose a time.

An internal company recruiter asked me to list several dates and times for a phone interview. I selected three different days, and a range of four hours for each day. The recruiter…

Not sending rejections after an internal referral seems to be a common theme. I personally still have about 8 open applications in Amazon's system after getting referred by an AWS …

How about when you're told you pass and moving on to the next round, then never contacted again? Or invited to an on-site at a specific time, then no one answers you, and there's n…

Then I must be in the 25% group. I have pretty much failed all non-tech interviews. I have little control over whether I pass them. I'll give you an example: 1) Several weeks ago, …

Equinox is the one I was looking at.

I updated my profile. I never realized the email field was private.

Right now I'm just re-studying CS (history, OS, networks, databases, algorithms, etc.). Hopefully it helps, and it reminds me why I like CS. A lack of job means living with my pare…

How much did the best gym cost? I was previously looking at one $150/month, but that's obviously too much for someone with no income.

As someone currently with depression (it's 4 AM, and I only had 3 hours of sleep), a job would really help. I've been unemployed for almost 2 years since graduation.

I don't like associating the posts I make on this account with my name. I'm in NYC. I sent you an email, in case you're interested in finding out more about me.

It's a no-reply email. Here's what the actual email said: "Thank you for your interest in Company. We have reviewed your resume, experience, and responses to the Code Challenge. At…

Unfortunately, I've been trying to find my first job of university. I wish I knew how to be competent enough. What do you look for?

It was a small company you never heard of. But yeah, probably something else. The rejection said based on my experience, answers, and resume. If so, it's disturbing that I had to d…

It reads like an "auto rejection" but the email says they read it. I wish I knew what kind of code quality they looked for. I already read Clean Code, so I'm aware of certain thing…

I don't like the zero feedback loop. I passed the test, yet I failed it and don't know why.

I was given seven problems to submit via an online coding service called remoteinterview.io. Three problems included HackerRank style challenges. I was able to solve everything wit…

My university did a poor job of teaching either. Databases was not required, and it was mainly a graduate course. Operating systems was taught entirely theoretically with no progra…

I was invited for an interview with this company. I've heard nothing really positive. Apparently you get signed into an indentured contract for 2 years, where you get paid less wor…

I never took 90% of those classes. Even for a class such as Programming Languages, we never did any actual programming. I'm assuming superuser2 went to Stanford, where their curric…
