The entries below are community-submitted experiences; their descriptions concern the named companies and candidates' interview processes. 1. **Apple · a month ago** — *Software Engineer · Senior / L5* > “The process was very fair and there was a clear emphasis on communication and culture fit. Everyone I interviewed with was very pleasant and encouraging. My one complaint would be the sense that the recruiter was not helpful or informative when it came to preparing me on what to expect. Technical rounds emphasized practical ability and had strong correlation to the responsibilities of the role.” [Read the Apple experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/apple-senior-software-engineer-interview-a33f8a) 2. **Okta · a month ago** — *Software Engineer · Mid Level / L4* > “The process was lengthy but the recruiter was in constant touch and providing information on what to do and how to prepare.

I feel this is a bit outdated classsic PM format. recruiter didn't give me a much information” [Read the Meta experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/meta-facebook-product-manager-interview-3425a7) 5. **Robinhood · 4 months ago** — *Product Manager · Sr. Staff / L7* > “The recruiter did a good job of giving me an idea of what to expect. Honestly, I didn't practice enough mocks by the time the interview came around. I liked that they had a portal for viewing the application process but I got no notification at all about my rejection.” [Read the Robinhood experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/robinhood-sr-staff-product-manager-interview-87ad80) 6. **Sierra AI · 5 months ago** — *Forward Deployed Engineer · Mid Level / L4* > “The process was smooth in terms of communication and scheduling.

They were highly personable and seem they are trying to find others who can continue its culture of excellence.” [Read the Sierra AI experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/sierra-ai-forward-deployed-engineer-interview-99c71f) 7. **Sierra AI · 5 months ago** — *Product Manager · Mid Level / L4* > “The recruiter was warm and friendly.

Thought it went fine but was hard to prepare because there wasn't really any set structure.” [Read the Rocket Money experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/rocket-money-product-manager-interview-a71bc6) 11. **Snowflake · 7 months ago** — *Software Engineer · Intern* > “OA is sent automatically to everyone who applies. Resume screening happens after. Questions are generally very difficult. The phone interview is done through AI, and asks you technical questions about your experience, projects, and challenges.” [Read the Snowflake experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/snowflake-software-engineer-intern-interview-f47cfb) 12. **Fluidstack · 7 months ago** — *Software Engineer · Entry Level / L3* > “Fast process, fast rejection. Engineers seemed passionate about their work and holding high standards for engineering.” [Read the Fluidstack experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/fluidstack-software-engineer-interview-b298aa) 13. **GitHub · 7 months ago** — *Software Engineer · Intern* > “It was a pretty easy process. Everything went pretty well. Interviewers were friendly. The process was very long and drawn out though, four months end to end is a long time.” [Read the GitHub experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/github-software-engineer-intern-interview-1e2a47) 14. **Netflix · a year ago** — *Software Engineer · Intern* > “My Netflix intern process was four rounds total if I count the OA: two CodeSignal assessments first, then a live coding round, then system design, and then a hiring manager round. I was nervous at every step because Netflix has such a high bar, but the people I met were really free and welcoming, so it felt less like an interview and more like working through things with engineers. The most unusual part to me was the AI-assisted assessment early on and then the longer team-matching wait before the hiring manager round. The earlier rounds usually took about a week to hear back from, but I waited around three weeks for the manager step. Once I got to the manager round, it honestly felt almost definite that I was very close, and I ended up getting the offer.” [Read the Netflix experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/netflix-software-engineer-intern-interview-1d0c90) 15. **Hubspot · 2 years ago** — *Product Manager · Mid Level / L4* > “Process was smooth. Recruiter was incredible and very communicative. They provided good verbal feedback and enough tips on each round to adequately prepare. People I interviewed with were all kind and seemed neutral vs certain companies where it feels like they want you to fail.” [Read the Hubspot experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/hubspot-product-manager-interview-a8f144) ## Roles and companies represented The question is associated with these role filters: - [Software Engineer](https://www.aced.io/questions?role=swe) — 8 - [Product Manager](https://www.aced.io/questions?role=pm) — 7 - [Forward Deployed Engineer](https://www.aced.io/questions?role=forward-deployed-engineer) The associated company filters are: - [Sierra AI](https://www.aced.io/questions?company=sierra-ai) — 3 - [Apple](https://www.aced.io/questions?company=apple) — 2 - [Meta](https://www.aced.io/questions?company=meta-facebook) — 2 - [Okta](https://www.aced.io/questions?company=okta) - [Robinhood](https://www.aced.io/questions?company=robinhood) - [Amazon](https://www.aced.io/questions?company=amazon) - [Rocket Money](https://www.aced.io/questions?company=rocket-money) - Snowflake - Fluidstack - GitHub - Netflix - Hubspot ## Community answers No community answers have been contributed yet.
