Behavioral Technical Coding System Design Presentation

This was one of the best interview experiences I've had. Catchpoint was super fast, moving quicker than all my other interviews within a week, and I got an offer two weeks after the first call. It kicked off with a standard recruiter call about my background and interests. Then there were 5 interviews: Hiring Manager, two Software Engineers, Architect, VP of Engineering, and the Co-Founder. The Architect and engineer interviews were the technical ones. The questions were practical, focusing on discussing design approaches rather than arbitrary algorithm puzzles. They also asked about data structures, runtimes, OOP, and design patterns, which felt very relevant to the job. Everyone I spoke with from top to bottom was pleasant, making the process feel more personal and focused on getting to know me, not just my skills. It gave me a lot of confidence in the company culture and values.

Behavioral Technical

I got in touch with the Global Talent Acquisition Manager, who was super helpful and set up a chat about the role. After that, I had 3 more interviews: 2 were general chats, and 1 was technical. I met with 4 people from the team, and they were all really knowledgeable and approachable. The final interview was with the CTO, who was awesome and really solidified my positive impression. The whole interview process was a really good experience.

Technical

I was contacted by a recruiter and scheduled for a phone interview. However, the interview was rescheduled five times over a month. Finally, the interview took place, but the interviewer was late and started recording without asking. He then asked questions and left for ten minutes mid-interview. Despite receiving an onsite invite, I declined due to the disrespectful treatment.
