Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at LTK.
Software Engineer
This was a single-stage interview process that involved coding and system design rounds. The coding rounds focused on Leetcode-style problems. Even if you solved the problem, you could still fail. They were notorious for ghosting candidates for over a week after the interview. It made me question if they were even hiring for the role. Overall, it was a weird and frustrating process. Only apply if you're really desperate.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Software Engineer
I had an interview scheduled, but the interviewer didn't show up. Ten minutes after it was supposed to start, they emailed me to say the role was on hold and asked if I'd be interested in the same job on a different team. I said yes, but then I never heard back. It was really frustrating to waste time getting ready for an interview and waiting on the call when they could have told me earlier.
- Would you be interested in a similar role with a different team?
Software Engineer
This was one of the most practical interviews I've ever done, and I've interviewed at many big tech companies like Uber, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Snap, Twitter, Microsoft, and have gotten offers from some before. The process had 5 stages: first, a 15-minute phone screen, then a 30-45 minute phone screening with the VP of engineering. After that, I had a 2-hour onsite with the team to discuss my background, the company culture, and past projects. Next was a take-home challenge where I had to build a web application over 3-7 days. Finally, I had a 1 hour and 30-minute onsite with the team to demo the app I built.
- Could you differentiate between Postgres and MySQL?
- Could you describe a challenging situation you faced during a project and how you resolved it?
- Can you outline the architecture of the web application you developed?
