I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PagerDuty in Dec 2014
Interview
I was contacted by the hiring manager on LinkedIn by email. We set up a call and had a quick chat. He mostly talked about the company and what they do and asked me some general question about what I do in my current role.
Then I had another phone call with the recruiter, again nothing particular, mostly general stuff like willing to relocate and such.
Then I had a phone screen, and was asked to code a simple question.
Then after that there was a second phone screen longer than first one, again coding question, followed by an open-ended design question

Search engine (Given a snapshot of web, how would I design a system to do simple search queries.
Initial hr call, a hiring manager call and then two technicals, a lot of behavioral questions . Unironically had a great time interviewing, which cannot be said for most companies these days.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PagerDuty in Oct 2025
Interview
Really quick and easy process. Started with a recruiter screen,, then had a 30 minute call with the hiring manager, then two hour-long technical interviews (live coding challenge (not LeetCode) and system design), and finally a 30-minute call with the senior manager over the whole team. Recruiter reached back out within a day of each interview to schedule the next step. Overall, the whole process took roughly three weeks and was really smooth and enjoyable the whole time.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PagerDuty (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2024
Interview
Found the interview questions to be a typical experience, however my interviewer joined the interview noticably annoyed. They were quite unfriendly during the process and eager to end the interview. I knew within 5 minutes there would be no callback - there was not.
