Datatron Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview experience was not great. It started okay, but then during the interview with a senior engineer, it became clear it wasn't a good fit because the interviewer seemed uninterested and like I was wasting their time. When they decided not to hire me, they swapped out the final interview, which was supposed to be with the CEO according to the schedule, with someone very new to the company. This person wasn't prepared and didn't have any questions. It was a terrible experience. Don't be fooled by the seemingly positive company reviews, they all appear to have been posted on the same day, possibly under duress.

This was the least professional company experience I've had. It started with a technical phone screen, then an on-site interview. When I arrived, they didn't seem to expect me. A new hire, who had only been there for 3 days, conducted the first round. They then struggled to find someone for a second round for about 15 minutes. The office was messy, like a dorm, with cheap furniture. Both interviewers were on their phones during the interview. The questions weren't too difficult, and the interviewer mentioned I made it look 'easy.' The interview ended over 2 hours early, skipping the other two rounds mentioned on Glassdoor, without meeting anyone else, without asking me about myself, and without telling me much about the company. They said I'd hear back 'very soon' but never contacted me or responded. This was especially frustrating as I drove 3 hours for it. I'd avoid this place unless you want your time disrespected.

It's a typical startup interview process. You'll start with 2 coding phone screens, and then move on to 3-4 onsite interviews. Make sure you're well-prepared for coding challenges. There's also a data science round where they'll present a real-world problem with an open-ended solution, focusing on your thought process and problem-solving speed.
