J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Discord (San Francisco, CA) en févr. 2022
Entretien
Initial call with the recruiter. Followed by the worst phone screen of my whole life. They ask you to share you screen and code an MVP of a service. The exact question is all over the internet. If you are not a web engineer don't waste your time with this company or interview. I got a working solution that I thought was quite impressive, after a lot of wasted time practicing for this interview.
The interview wasn't hard. Its really specifically discriminates against engineers who don't work on a very small subset of the tech industry.
Don't waste your time with this terrible interview process
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
In one hour build an MVP of this system, then when you get a working multithreaded solution. We will fail you anyway without feedback or explanation.
Applied -> Recruiter -> HM -> Tech Screen.
First three rounds went great, but the Tech Screen was a very different experience, and felt very out of time with modern software interviewing practices.

Seemed pretty organized. The "resources"section tells you that they will ask you to build a chat app using TCP clients. I did and practice or reading on it. During the interview, they didn't want you looking at ai responses when you Google. Googling for documentation is allowed.
Got the code working that satisfied all requirements. They asked some questions on how would you do this and that after as well. Got rejected soon after. Not really sure where my performance warranted a rejection but oh well.
Recruiter reached out after seeing my application. They already had asked me to install telnet on my system and about building a chat server using sockets. Did a background reading on that. Got the code working during the interview with some guidance from the interviewers. It should handle multiple clients.
Got rejected next day. No feedback, nothing.
Not sure what the interviewers want these days - a fully working Whatsapp ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ within 1 hr?
