Behavioral
An internal recruiter reached out to me for an initial phone chat. I thought the first round went really well, and the recruiter mentioned they'd need to confirm the next steps but that we'd likely proceed to a second conversation. Unfortunately, they then went silent and never followed up via email or text. While I understand not being a fit is a possibility, it would have been professional to at least communicate that. I'm unsure if this is typical for the company, but be aware this kind of recruiting experience can happen.

Behavioral Coding Technical
The interview experience was really bad. HR asked me to send a calendar invite. The first interview was a 15 min phone call with HR, but it got delayed twice. I ended up waiting for 1 hour and 20 minutes with no explanation. Then there was an online coding challenge, it felt like LeetCode medium. The last round was a video call where they asked a technical question. They asked about infrastructure design, specifically database design, which wasn't on my resume. I couldn't answer the first question, so they ended the call immediately and said I wasn't a good fit.

Case Presentation
BuildZoom's recruiter was great, very responsive and worked with my timeline. The process kicked off with a phone screen, followed by phone interviews with two team members, and then an onsite. The onsite was cool - the questions were interesting and gave me a sense of their current problems. The conversations felt more like collaborative problem-solving than an interview, which is always appreciated. After the onsite, they requested a writing sample and checked references.

You start by submitting your resume online. After that, the HR department will send you an online exam along with a practice research activity. Then, HR will give you a call to ask some preliminary questions. This is followed by an interview with the team leader, and finally, an interview with the company manager. If everything goes well, you'll receive a job offer.
