The interview process was long because they take forever to get back to you. I was invited to come onsite for the final interview and before I did, I did my due diligence and did some research - Google/YouTube fanbox, sms.ac and you will find out all the info you need to know about this awful company. I'm writing this to warn other people out there that might get lured in by this company. All of the positive reviews you see on here are probably from their HR dept. I've never once found any positive information about this company. You won't find anything on empowr because they re-branded from fanbox but you will find a ton of negative information about sms.ac and fanbox. You are warned!

- Skype interview was easy - basic tech interview.
- Take home test was an extremely poorly made test with terrible english. Questions made absolutely no sense they tried to use mathematical notation on some and it was completely incorrect! This was when the red flags started to go off. When you learn about their tech stack you will see they are still stuck in the early 2000's.

I applied online and then got a call. We had a quick chat over the phone, and then I went in for an in-person interview. It was a pretty standard process, pretty much like other companies. The interviewers were nice people. Everything went well. I also met with the head of product, which was cool to learn more about the company.

The whole thing took about 2 weeks. I interviewed with Empowr. It was a pretty enjoyable process. First, I talked with a few managers, and then I had a final one-on-one chat. I really got to know Empowr. It was a great experience overall. Showing I knew about Empowr and some competitors seemed to impress them. I felt I prepared well.
