I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Asana
Interview
I am putting a neutral experience because before the phone interview the process was great (extremely fast responses and a helpful recruiter). The interview, however, was a negative experience. Typically in coding interviews the interviewer will discuss things with you as you go along, for mine it was like talking to a wall. I would say something and try and discuss it and he would either give a one word answer like "ok" or just no response at all, it felt extremely awkward. This really messed me up, and even though I ended up solving the problem (basically by myself) I failed the interview in their eyes it because I didn't look far ahead enough in time. It felt extremely unfair that I failed because of this, in every other coding interview I've had this problem would have been solved with an interviewer who actually discusses things with you.

Thank you for flagging what sounds like a bit of a communication breakdown in our interview process that you experienced. Our goal is to make the overall experience a positive one, and your feedback will help us improve! I apologize that we were not as communicative and helpful during the challenge as we could have been, and appreciate you taking the time to interview with us!
Made it to final round, then when scheduling, sent me an email saying spots were full 1. code signal 2. technical phone call 3. final "onsite" interview provided resources and workshops to help students understand material people were approachable
coding challenge, technical interview screen off, virtual onsite long technical and behavioral. In the onsite they also give you the opportunity to talk to someone from an identity group that you align with which is very nice.
I had a good experience. The interview process was timely. My recruiter was up front about expectations and timelines. I made it to the final round interview but was not extended an internship offer.
