Bungalow Interview Questions
& Process

The interview is in person and usually with the Field Sales Manager for the region. It's more of a casual chat about your customer service and problem-solving skills. They might also ask situational questions to see how you'd deal with a tough showing or an uncooperative housemate.

Applied on LinkedIn. Got an email the next day from a recruiter to schedule a call. The call went well, and the next day I got an email from the recruiter about next steps. I then scheduled a call with the recruiting coordinator to talk with the hiring manager, who is a senior transaction manager. Our call went very well, or so I thought. It was a casual chat about my past jobs, and she was dressed casually and working from home. After about 2-4 days post-interview, I got an email saying they weren't moving forward. I asked for feedback on my interview and qualifications but haven't heard back.

I was contacted for a Staff Data Engineer role. The process started with a recruiter call, followed by a call with the hiring manager who seemed uninterested. Then came a take-home coding assessment that took about 3-4 hours and had several ambiguous parts. Unexpectedly, I got a system-generated rejection email. Shortly after, HR reached out, wanting to conduct a technical round (which should have been before the automated rejection). This 30-minute technical round focused on my take-home assessment. The interviewer presented the problem without much clarity and seemed annoyed when I asked follow-up questions. After I finished, he stated I couldn't handle the task, despite my code working, because I didn't provide the solution he had in mind. His feedback was that I should have asked questions during the take-home, which I found contradictory given the lack of clarity in the initial problem statement. I felt disrespected by the unprofessional and dismissive attitude, especially given my own experience interviewing candidates.

Arielle Chrisman contacted me on Angel.co after I showed interest. We scheduled a phone interview, followed by the first of two on-site meetings. I really liked the team's energy and how accomplished everyone seemed, eager to grow the company. Coming from a big organization, I wanted to make an impact, and Arielle's team made sure that message got across. The process dragged on for a few months before they rescheduled the second on-site. I was a bit bummed about the long silence, as I prefer consistent communication, even if it's bad news. I kept interviewing and was already in the offer stage when I reconnected with Arielle. She apologized for the lack of communication and explained things, showing real eagerness to schedule the second on-site. Even though I had other offers, I was still drawn to the team and the opportunity. Things moved fast after that, and I got an offer a few days later. The coolest part was being invited to happy hour with the team after the second on-site. It was a real chance to see each other honestly, something I'd never experienced in 13+ years of work. I really appreciated it, and it definitely sealed the deal. Arielle, Leticia, and Clarence were amazing throughout the process and a huge reason I chose Bungalow over others.
