Candidate-reported interview process
The interview process included a 45-minute technical screen focusing on Python. Then there were a series of onsite interviews: one analyzing API queries from provided documentation (1 hour), another about getting a simple backend web app running (1 hour), a system design question on scaling (30 minutes), and finally a leadership meet.
The interviewer started by asking about my sales experience, customer service background, knowledge of product suites, and how I deal with rejection or tough situations. They also talked about the skills and attributes they think are important for success in the role.
The interviewer seemed distracted and not engaged in the conversation, looking at other things during the technical question and giving no feedback. Ultimately, it did not feel like a good culture to work in.
