Witholding Title for Privacy Interview
Anonymous Employee in United StatesNo OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult InterviewApplicationI applied through an employee referral The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Discord (United States)
Interview
Applied for an engineering leadership position. Process included a recruiter call, HM call, take home assignment, and a super day of interviews including a panel to discuss the take home assignment.
The take home was quite robust and required a lot of work. I would say it took somewhere between 8 and 12 hours...I didn't track exactly.
Interviews were pretty tough, though in some cases it was a bit clear that the interviewer themselves were relatively inexperienced with the subject matter, so it felt somewhat unfair to know they were rating me. It was also communicated to me that they didn't have a bar or criteria established for the role yet - so it was curious that I could really be rated at all.
There were big delays in communication and multiple missed deadlines about news of an offer. Ultimately, it sounds like there was a holdout who could not be flipped to a "Yes" and I was declined an offer.
Overall the process started well, I invested a ton of time, but as we got into the end stages it seemed that the team did not really know what they wanted and strung me along for a while. It soured things for me.InterviewTake home assignment about a tricky engineering organizational problem.

We just wrapped up Discord’s 2021 Hack Week, and the synergy was *impeccable.* We can’t share any projects just yet ;) but here’s the TL;DR:
1) We had 32 official cross-functional Hack Week teams working on unique projects. Which hacks will make it into our product? That’s top secret (for now)
2) Our friend (and Discord — The Movie star) Grimes made a special appearance, kicking off the week with tips & tricks to tap into our creativity
3) We used this opportunity to “Hack for Good!” With everything going on in the world, our Inclusion, Diversity and Purpose Team led its own Hack Week project, organizing a donation of $35,000 to organizations chosen by our team members, including:
- International Rescue Committee (providing aid to Afghan refugees)
- United Way of Southern Louisiana (helping with the aftermath of Hurricane Ida)
- California Fire Foundation (providing assistance to communities impacted by wildfires in CA)
If the FOMO is real — check out our job openings! Hack Week happens every year...see you next summer?

Monotony? Don't know her!
Every summer for a whole week, we take a step back from our day-to-day duties, link arms with team members we might not usually get to work with, and create something innovative together with Discord's HACK WEEK!
Work in finance but want to dabble in code? Eager to contribute new features to our product? Discord folders, stickers and user profiles are all product features that have come out of previous Hack Weeks. Want to forget work and build a soft-serve robot? Boom, done. (No really, it's been done). The floor is yours, no matter your job description.
We're currently hacking away this week, and no doubt our team members will resurface with some preeeetty cool creations.
If this strikes a chord, check out our job openings! We’d love to have you and your ideas at our next Hack Week.
