I applied online. I interviewed at Twitch (San Francisco, CA) in May 2021
Interview
Not satisfied at all. First 40 minutes, the interviewer asked me about my project and went deeper into one of the topics where he was an expert. And left me with only 2o minutes with coding questions, which was leetcode difficult.
I started solving it with a brute force approach. He stoped me and asked for the optimum approach.
He did not allow me to write even brute force approach. Then I started thinking about the optimum approach and it almost took the rest of the time and no time left for the coding.
I passed the Codesignal pre-screen and was invited to an intro call. The intro call included behavioral questions which I didn’t expect so I was not able to give good answers. The recruiter seemed cold and disengaged, he did not answer my email about interview process and did not turn on camera during the call, probably typical for big companies due to high volume of candidates.
At first I got the call from the recruiter for the screening process. Asked about the things on the resume work I did before. Then progressed to assesment round that consisted of OOPS coding question.
