Review from Engineering Dept
I feel I am being heard and that I can make a difference.
My interviewer (Justin) listened to me and gave me his honest opinion. I took his advice. So far so good!
Review from Engineering Dept
They moved very fast for me knowing I was a candidate for other jobs. My recruiter was great and my recruiting coordinator was SO KIND and friendly
Review from HR Dept
Good teame and team captain
it wasn't rushed and had very good questions
It is built on human-level interactions, not algorithms or trick questions.
The interview process is challenging, but each individual that was involved in the process was very approachable and great to work with.
Review from HR Dept
I liked that the programming exercises were not whiteboard style where the interviewer is silent and waiting for you to get to the right answer. It's nice that they felt like a collaborative session with the interviewer.
Review from Engineering Dept
Our interview process is extremely democratic--an IC can veto a candidate that a C-level exec wants with no fear of consequences. It's extremely rigorous and when people make it through they are almost always an EXCELLENT hire.
Very efficient and effective for picking the right talents. The whole process is very smooth and actually enjoyable.
Review from Marketing Dept
I liked that the interview process let me meet a bunch of people from across the company. And also the engineering questions were a little more "practical" (as far as interviews go anyway) instead of gimmicky.
Review from Engineering Dept
The interview panel includes so many people that aren't just engineers or engineer managers. Meeting everyone and seeing how many disciplines make Discord work was great. The interview was challenging but focused around actually writing code, so it felt relevant and not just abstract whiteboarding
Review from Engineering Dept
It was extremely challenging, but also the interview process at Discord is very personal, because it's not just solving tricky engineering questions with someone looking over your shoulder, it's about getting to know the person you'll be working with ideally for a good long time.
Review from Engineering Dept
Solving real problems, telling real stories
Review from Engineering Dept
I was encouraged to be honest and genuine and it was rewarded. Additionally, I was given on the spot problems to solve and it was a lot of fun!
You get to meet and interact with lots of people throughout the company so it helps you better gauge the company culture.
It's intense and rightfully so. We don't just hire good we hire the best and the interview process reflects that.
Review from Customer Support Dept
I had an opportunity to eat lunch with a diverse set of people outside of the team that I was applying for!
Review from Customer Support Dept
Meeting with people outside of engineering, and having the chance to learn about how much we value cross-functional connections and empathy
