United StatesPosted Oct 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Software Engineer role at GitHub in a longer, structured journey that combined multiple conversations with practical engineering evaluation and some take-home work.

Email/short written screen — I was asked questions over email early on as part of the process.
Take-home project (PR submission) — I completed a take-home assignment and submitted it as a pull request to a repo.
Culture/engineering practice interviews — I had interviews focused on engineering practices and “describe a time when” style questions.
Pairing or interactive technical interview — I did an interview that was interactive, adding a feature based on my take-home work.
Additional team and full-day loops — The process included multiple team rounds and longer
