:insert skeleton waiting around meme: after 3 weeks from the final interview round. There has been no response from HR, there was no defined process of interview rounds, and HR gave zero guidance on preparing for the was-this-the-final? 4 hour interview round. Hands down, this has been the worst interview experience I’ve ever had. It blows my mind that Roku isn’t a poorly funded, early seed A startup with a skeleton crew. Even then I’ve had better experiences with those companies.
Advice: fire your entire HR/people team leadership starting with the executives.
As for the interview questions: majority of them could’ve been answered simply by looking up the man pages and AWS docs rather than asking to problem solve or going over CS fundamentals…

Trivial docker command line questions rather than actually how docker works at a deep level

Recruiter reached out via linkedin.
Had a really bad experience in the first technical round.
You walk into an interview hoping for a fair conversation. What you get instead is someone on the other side trying to prove they are smarter, louder, or more important than you.
They ask vague questions.
They interrupt everytime.
They make you feel small for not reading their mind.
I really regret appearing for the interview at Roku as it was really disrespectful.
I searched and found out that panel provide one to one interview prep and I think that’s why more than my actuall skills and knowledge he was interested in if I follow the same approach he teaches.

Talk with Recruiter, tech talk and Hackerrank with Engineer. Engineer interviewer offered little feedback during an implementation discussion. I justified my selection as being best for a time-constrained interview and he agreed. The interviewer was playing around in my code editor while I was typing, causing distractions and additional errors in my work. Finally, the interviewer was extremely dissatisfied that I did not use the other option that I had discussed, and that I did not select Python when I was told to solve in any language.

Recruiter called me and asked some general questions related to work experience, tech stacks etc. Later they asked about renumeration drawn from the current org: to which I responded saying 'need to check with HR regarding any NDA if they have pertaining to salary disclosure'. I also felt current renumeration being irrelavent question for next role and asked what's the comp. band that this role is entitled to. To which recruiter told without current comp. info, they won't be able to proceed further and rejected on spot.
