Behavioral Technical Presentation

The interview process here is pretty unstructured. You'll probably chat with about 3-4 team members over Zoom, and then there's an onsite interview. They might throw in a product design or sense question, but mostly they want to hear about challenges and successes you've had in your previous projects or roles.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Could you tell me about the most recent product you worked on?
  • Tell me about a challenge you faced or a success you had in your past projects or role.
  • Can you answer a question about product design or sense?

Technical Behavioral

The interview process is easy, but the salary negotiation is not satisfying. Haven't received the expected salary package. 2 rounds are versant test and personal interview. The interview process is a multiple-stage process for hiring new employees. The stages mainly comprise job interviews held either one-on-one, with a group of candidates, or with a panel. Interviews are conducted in person, over the phone or by email, or via video conferencing tools

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you tell us about yourself?
  • Why do you think you are the right candidate for this role?

Technical Coding Coding Behavioral Behavioral Technical

The interview process started with a phone screening, followed by a hiring manager interview. Then there were 5 more rounds of interviews: 2 behavioral, 2 technical, and 1 fundamentals. It took them 2 whole weeks of dragging their feet to schedule this interview, and I had to prod them at every step every week to keep the process moving. I did not get an offer, and the feedback was "interviewers weren't sure where you were in the job hunt process," which isn't helpful or constructive feedback. When I asked for clarification, I didn't get it. Additionally, I had to take a phone call to get the rejection and waited 20 minutes past the pre-arranged time for it.

Technical Coding System Design Behavioral

Had a phone call with the CTO where they discussed my background and explained the company. The following week, I went on-site for a really nice meeting with the team. It was a 2-3 hour session that included a coding exercise and a design question. An offer came about a week after that. The whole experience was smooth, and the team was very welcoming.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Implement a React component
  • Work through some algorithm problems
  • Discuss a general design question

When asked if I had experience with Swift 5.5 or newer versions, and after I responded negatively, they asked follow-up questions that, upon my later research, turned out to be about the new features in Swift 5.5. This was quite disappointing.
