I applied online. I interviewed at Duolingo in Sep 2024
Interview
This process felt very opaque and impersonal. There was no correspondence other than the initial interview scheduling. After the phone call, they totally forgot to let me know that they were moving on until I reached out. When I did, they sent an automated message devoid of any emotion.
Also, the fact that they describe the initial phone call as a "Behavioral Assessment" made it feel like a psychological examination. I did not like that.

Question 1
Describe a challenge you had to overcome in the workplace.
The overall process was okay. I will say, the recruiting team was amazing, and the process moved very quickly. However, it was a pretty tedious and time-consuming process. There was an initial call with the recruiter, followed by an interview with the hiring manager. Then a case study project that took a good amount of effort. After that, there was a two-day panel that consisted of another presentation and seven more interviews.
While everyone was nice, it just seemed like an awful lot to go through to be told no afterward. It's also their company policy to not share feedback, so there's no way to know what went wrong. I just wish there was a bit more consideration for your time with your current job and other interviews you have. It's an awful lot of time to take up regardless of receiving an offer.

Question 1
Nothing but "tell me about a time" questions. 5 hours worth of panel interviews with questions that were either irrelevant or redundant. Most of the people I interviewed with had little to no experience or knowledge on the type of role I was interviewing for too, so at times it felt like anything I was saying was going over their heads anyways.
1st: phone； 2nd: hiring manager；3rd: takehome assessment； I was not selected for the final round， but the experience was positive and everyone was friendly. Would recommend to apply! Be prepared for the takehome task.

experience of working with data； behavioral question - what is the most challenging learning experience
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Duolingo (New York, NY) in Oct 2022
Interview
Recruiter screen, HM interview, take home assignment, finally presentation & interviews with different team members. Everyone was friendly throughout the process and it moved quickly. Just as a precaution, the take home assignment does take a great deal of time (much more then the recruiter estimate) and it is their company policy to not provide feedback on submission. Countless other Glassdoor reviews across different functions will note similar experiences, and in hindsight I wish I would’ve known this before dedicating so much time to complete the task. I’ve interviewed widely between other tech companies, and I have to say this process felt uniquely one-sided. In addition to the recruiter being 10+ minutes late to the screener, all in all not a great experience with no consideration for an applicant’s time.

Basic interviews questions, tell me about a time you’ve used data, worked with others, etc.
