      Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 9, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Grubhub

      Interview

      Made me an offer through Hired.com, then had a phone interview with a nice guy who asked about my experience and asked relevant technical questions to gauge my understanding of the Angular framework. Went well. Got an in-person interview a few days later. .......which is where it went downhill. As with other candidates on here, I was placed in an empty room and left there on my own for 15 minutes. So that was nice. Then, two fellows came in, asked me a single question "What is your experience with X?", listened to my brief response without comment, then said "OK" and launched straight into a pretty ridiculous technical interview. They had me implement Conway's Game of Life from a skeleton of code, which is a bit tricky even if you've done it before. If you haven't done it, then let me assure you figuring out how to do it with a guy literally sitting on each side of you looking over your shoulder and pointing out your mistakes is NOT the ideal way to start, especially when they've both already shown themselves to be highly robotic and unsociable interviewers. I got most of it, but got stuck on one point and knew I wasn't going to get past it in that context, and it was crystal clear that was enough to sink the interview. I had already stopped caring....their impression was so overwhelmingly negative that I had lost all interest pretty fast. Didn't need the job quite that badly. Did I mention they didn't even book a room for the whole interview, so in the middle of implementing the Game of Life someone came knocking and opened the door and asked for the room? But that's cool, everyone knows distractions like that shouldn't make a difference to a GOOD engineer. Summary: mechanical interviewers and inconsiderate treatment topped off by my value being judged entirely on one very poorly set-up and poorly evaluated technical exercise, zero actual conversation or discussion of my experience, strengths, or interests.

      Software Engineer I Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Grubhub (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter in January 2025, and scheduled a first-round live-coding interview with a tech lead. She was very helpful and supportive and it was probably the least stressful live-coding I've ever done. The interview involved coding functions for distributed architecture. I was very quickly scheduled for a second and third interview, one a behavioral interview with the person who would be my manager, and a final live-coding interview with another engineer. The behavioral interview covered my experience with different technologies specific for the job and detailed coverage of one of my recent work projects. The final live-coding interview was also very relaxed and covered coding with data structures, specifically a linked list. I was told the job was mine if the position was approved by the company's new owners, Wonder, after which I read that Wonder fired 25% of Grubhub's staff, and I haven't heard back since. The people I had the opportunity to talk to were magnificent, though.
