Medium’s engineering interview process (2016)

I've interviewed there after reading the article.

In fact, I can say that the experience was almost the opposite of what's outlined there.

I was there onsite, 4 interview sessions, 45 minutes each:

1. Hangman game on coderpad (on a computer). 2. Design an elevator (whiteboard). 3. Tic-tac-toe solver (whiteboard). 4. q&a session with product manager.

I was able to answer all the questions easily, and felt really good overall. After the interview, everyone generally "seemed positive" but in the end, I was rejected.

Throughout the whole process, I didn't even get to meet the recruiter who put me there. She sent me a cold rejection letter and zero feedback.

I was genuinely excited to read about their hiring process, felt it was going to be different, but I was pretty disappointed.
