Cockroach Labs’ Interview Guide - Insider Tips
Be honest and transparent about what you do and don't know. And if you don't know something, don't just get frustrated and give up. Recruiters would much rather see how you tackle the challenge and use your resources to solve the problem than not do anything at all. Be bold and ask clarifying questions, and take the time to think things through before jumping in to solve a problem. Get to know the company and prepare for your interview. Cockroach Labs was built on a community-oriented philosophy, so they love it when people are excited about what they’re up to and enthusiastic about the prospect of being a part of it. Make sure you prepare a variety of questions to ask your interviewers and cover during the coffee chat!
