Ezoic Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The process kicked off with a 30-minute phone chat to introduce the company and discuss a recent project. Following that, there was an online assessment via Byteboard. Then, I received a project about 24 hours before the final interview, which I planned to spend around 6 hours on. I had the freedom to use any programming language and could add any extra features I thought of. The final interview involved presenting my project and explaining my approach. I was asked about potential future additions to the project and also to add features live. It was encouraged to ask questions and vocalize my thought process. Finally, there were a few questions about my background and a detailed overview of the company. It felt challenging but was a better experience than typical technical interviews, more like real-world work.

This was the worst interview experience I have ever had. First, there was a 2 hour coding assessment with a worksheet on system design and filling in missing code. If that was passed, the next round involved a 6+ hour project sent 24 hours before a 3 hour interview. During the 3 hour interview, they made me code new features into the application live for 2 hours. By the time I was an hour into the live interview, I was no longer interested in working for them. The interviewers were condescending. They didn't ask about my system design, only about its flaws. Even when I said I was still learning, they kept pointing out errors as if it should have been perfect. No compliments were given. Then they discussed company culture, the lack of managers, lack of proper testing and deployment regulations, and pushing code to production in the first week. There also didn't seem to be a clear internal growth path because no manager meant no raises or title changes. Overall, a very bad experience that left a sour taste. Glad I didn’t get the offer.

it was awful. there was an initial phone call with HR, then a coding test. the final stage was an unpaid project that I only had one afternoon to complete, requiring both frontend and backend development. The next day involved a 3-hour interview where I had to add or modify features to that code. I did all of this, but was rejected a few days later with feedback that my code "wasn't up to their standard," which felt insulting given the time I invested without pay and without useful feedback.
