Technical Coding
When it comes to tech interviews, Emergent is the benchmark. Everything is laid out on the careers page from their website. Online application & assessment, initial interview with technical recruiter, at-home coding challenge, technical interview with the team. This is a great way to gauge a candidate and know that everyone who works here has met the same expectation to be an excellent candidate. Interviewing is not a perfect science, but this experience has been wonderful, low pressure, and actually a great way to understand someone's ability.

Coding Technical Behavioral
It was a really good interview process with Emergent. It was smooth and professional. First, there was a recruiter screen. Then, I got a coding challenge to build a simple website for software products with search. After that, I had two technical interviews with a director-level engineer and a senior architect. The talks were focused but also chill, with good technical questions for the role. The team was nice, and it was a really positive experience overall.
Confirmed questions1 question

Coding Technical
I had to do an online assessment and a quick coding challenge with Test Gorilla, and it felt like I was being watched constantly by the webcam. I couldn't explain my thinking or ask questions if something was unclear. It didn't really check if I could do the job based on the description. It was just 3 logic puzzles and a coding challenge that was easy to find online. Honestly, it was a pretty uninspired and off-putting way to recruit.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- There were 4 timed sections. The first was logic puzzles.
- The second and third were spatial reasoning puzzles.
- The final section was a coding challenge where I had to compare two version strings, for example, '2.0.1' is greater than '2.0.0'.
