Latch Interview Questions
& Process

I went through 3 phases of the interview proceess. Speaking with the recruiter, and two 30-minute video calls with a manager and director. Radio silence after that. I reached out to the recruiter a few times for updates and was told "we're still in the process but will be making a decision shortly-"i'll follow up in a few days". There was never any follow up. I was ghosted (this process took around 2 weeks). Additionally, i've heard this is standard for this company and that they ghost fairly frequently.

I interviewed for a Tech Support Agent job at Latch and the process was pretty bad. The recruiter had trouble scheduling, and I never got the meeting link even though we confirmed. It was confusing and we had to reschedule last minute. The recruiter wasn't professional and made excuses instead of taking responsibility, even blaming me. They also said they intentionally create stressful situations to see how candidates react, which isn't fair or professional. Because of the disorganization and unprofessionalism, I withdrew my application. I hope they fix these issues for future candidates.

I had an initial HR interview in English. Then, I had to do a System Design for an app, presenting it with diagrams in a 1-hour interview. After that, I had another technical interview, but they didn't give me any heads-up on what it would be. It turned out to be a live coding session using Android Studio, where I had to program an app in real-time based on a design they showed me on the spot.

The interview process went really well, I felt a connection and fell in love with LATCH. Everybody was lovely and kind and relatable. Originally, upon interviewing, I made it to the final round and they chose another candidate. However, I kept in touch with the hiring manager and come January, they said a position may be opening up for me. They had one meeting with me and presented me all the benefits, salary, gave a verbal offer and then nothing. I kept having to pull teeth and ask when the formal offer was coming, they kept saying it needed to get approved yadda yadda. This went on for about a month. A month of me turning down job offers because they kept assuring me 'an offer was coming, not to worry, and I have a home at LATCH'. I finally asked if me reaching out was getting repetitive or if I should sit and expect them to reach out when they hear back on approval. She said she'd reach out to me as soon as she gets approval and not to worry...then....nothing. Ghosted. I didn't bother reaching out again, they never reached out to me. Moved on and got another job. Horrible to treat a candidate like that, making them feel like they are begging for the job over and over. I came to this platform to leave this review in hopes they take this into consideration for other candidates and I see on the reviews they laid off 130+ people. I'm sure that has something to do to it but wish they were more open and honest about it so I wasn't turning down offers for nothing.
