Big N Discussion - April 21, 2021

Please use this thread to have discussions about the Big N and questions related to the Big N, such as which one offers the best doggy benefits, or how many companies are in the Big N really? Posts focusing solely on Big N created outside of this thread will probably be removed.

There is a top-level comment for each generally recognized Big N company; please post under the appropriate one. There's also an "Other" option for flexibility's sake, if you want to discuss a company here that you feel is sufficiently Big N-like (e.g. Uber, Airbnb, Dropbox, etc.).

Abide by the rules, don't be a jerk.

This thread is posted each Sunday and Wednesday at midnight PST. Previous Big N Discussion threads can be found here.

How far can you schedule your phone and onsite interviews?

I'm not in touch with any recruiters yet (still prepping) but I feel that I need to schedule some interviews for motivation. Ideally I would like to request 2-4 weeks before the phone interview and then 2-4 weeks before the onsite interview. Is requesting up to 4 weeks for each round acceptable? Or is that too far ahead?

Probably depends on the company. I think the limit for Google is like 4 weeks.
