Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Duo Security (Ann Arbor, MI) en sep 2018
Entrevista
Had a call with an HR rep, was 3 hours later than they originally scheduled. Talked about the role that I had applied for and got me in contact with the engineering manager for the next interview. Engineering manager interview seemed fine, not really technical, just getting a feel for where I'm at in my career and what they are looking for in an candidate. Neither interviewer at this point manages to tell me they are looking for senior level (5+ years) than what the job posting indicates (2 years) on their very website.
Moved onto a technical interview with a few of the seniors, HR scheduled it much earlier than what I had posted being available leading to a pretty awkward phone call asking where I was. They were rather simple challenge questions that were easy to read and did not feel reguritated. If you spent a day studying you'd probably be prepared for them already, although they are not as easy as the questions from 2015 already listed here. The interviewers were always pleasant to talk to and the interview didn't seem like a chore for them like I've noticed from many other tech interviewers.
Had an onsite after that, interviews did not really change for the most part and seemed more or less a repeat of the phone interviews. Don't have a single bad thing I could say about the interviewers, really. Only thing was when I was told I would not get an offer I was told conflicting feedback between the HR rep and the manager. One seemed to think it was based off what location I selected, another seemed to be based on experience level (which I'd imagine you'd read off a resume in the beginning?).
Lesson I learned? Take posting descriptions with a grain of salt, specially Duo's.
The entire interview process consists of a phone screen, meeting with hiring manager, coding skills interview, and system design interview. You can be cut at any point in the process.

Tell me about a time when you encountered a difficult challenge and overcame it.
The first step was a questionnaire form about your experience and why you want to work at Duo. The second step was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager. Be prepared for this as they are heavy on STAR format questions and will go into detail. Overall, everyone I met was very welcoming and nice. Unfortunately, I was ghosted after the second round and it has been about 2 months since.

When was a time you received negative feedback and how did you handle it?
Had 2 interviews. Took over a month to be able to schedule the first interview and then the coding interview. I had issues with their automated scheduler had a hard time getting in touch with a person to fix the scheduling issues. The first round was standard fare for interviews - asking about resume, experience, etc. They didn't inform me that the person who I had been scheduled to meet was not the person I was interviewing with. This is fine, the person couldn't make it, but some advance warning would have been nice. Prior to the second interview, they never sent a confirmation email (despite the first email they had sent discussing the 2nd round interview saying "hey look out for a confirmation email!"). I had issues during the first round with scheduling so I reached out to make sure everything was alright. I reached out to 2 different people multiple times over multiple days and only received a confirmation email an hour prior, so I wasn't sure if the interview was even going to go ahead. The whole process was such a pain. And during the second interview they said there might be 4 more rounds of interviews left! No thanks. Terrible process. Was not impressed with anyone who I interviewed with or was in contact with during the recruiting process.
