      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Oct 23, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Priceline.com (New York, NY) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      Fairly simple interviews, I had 3. 2 on the phone, and 1 in person. The first phone interview was with their HR, it only lasted 5 minutes and he scheduled the follow up technical phone interview while we were on the phone. All he was interested in was my past experience. He also asked for my current pay and desired range (I lied about my current pay and shot myself in the foot here, dont do that). The second interview was also quite easy, I interviewed with a lead developer who asked about a few sites I built in the past. He wanted details on how we did it , how long it took, and what technologies we used. I heard back about a final interview within an hour after the call. The third/final interview was an in-person. It started off with 20 minutes with the HR guy, then 45 minutes - 1 hour with two developers. They were quite friendly and asked a series of questions to test my skillset and knowledge. There was a whiteboard with the classic "fizzbuzz" test written at the top but I was not asked to take it. The next step was 3 managers, they were more interested in my experience / goals. Lastly they brought in the CTO and I met with him for another 20 minutes. Extremely friendly guy, and quite the visionary. I'm sure he would be a great guy to work for.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      I didnt have to do it but the FizzBuzz seems to be their standard test.

      Interview

      total 3 to 4 rounds. The initial first round is with Talent Recruiter and expect this also asking technical questions, asked difference between ConcurrentHashMap and Map, which is more thread safe. which situation we should choose set vs list. What is time complexity for different basic data structure. How you go about designing the priceline like system, all these been asked in first Recruiter call. Then second round was with Principal software engineer, it is more like coding problem with real work style, there will be coderpad with imported Java project, having bunch of class, service and unit test already written. Some unit test is taking time and failing, looking the unit test, class, method, try to figure out why unit test search from Map is taking so much of time, what things you see wrong and how do you improve it ? It ends up being the Map the registration class hashCode method was overiden and it had bad code returning hascode of static string. What all other things are wrong in code, describe about project , something from resume etc

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Priceline.com

      Interview

      This is the worst interview I have had in recent times. You could get lucky and draw a smart interviewer but totally the luck of the draw here. I had a great first round. Met with a knowledgeable interviewer and worked on a medium leet code question. And then there was a take home assignment and several panel interviews. The interviewers in the virtual onsite are not qualified to be doing interviews. They couldn't understand my solution because they memorized a different one from leetcode. And if you deviate from their "so-called" solution, you are deemed unfit for the role. They hardly spend any time reviewing your take home assignment, so have no clue what went into it. These people act like a FAANG company although they aren't! The company is doing exciting stuff and the recruiters are easy to work with. But the whole interview process is so biased and unfair that it isn't worth your time!
