Loop Returns Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was very straightforward. It started with a recruiter call where they assessed my experience and career aspirations. It felt like a genuine conversation, and the recruiter actively listened and referenced my input. Next, I spoke with the hiring manager, who was open about the role's strengths and areas for development, and answered my questions well. Then, I met with two other team members. Although I wasn't selected, the recruiter gave me clear and helpful feedback, which was appreciated given that this level of transparency isn't always common. I wish the team the best.

I talked to the recruiter first, and it was a good chat where they explained the job well. Then I was set up to meet the hiring manager the next week. A few days after that, I got a take-home assignment to do before meeting the HM. I got it Friday night, so I just did it over the weekend. I submitted it and then had a good talk with the HM. The next week, I got an email saying I didn't get the job. The email had details, which was nice, but the reason didn't really make sense. It said the HM had questions about my take-home assignment and didn't get my thinking, but she didn't actually ask me anything about it during our interview. I thought it was weird to be rejected because of an assignment that wasn't even discussed, especially if that was the reason. The whole process was pretty straightforward, and the recruiter was great and kept in touch. I do appreciate the detailed feedback though, as many companies don't provide it.

Applied and did a 45 minute recruiter phone screen. Hiring Manager interview followed. Went well, moved forward. I then interviewed with two members of the team. Seemed like conversations went well. Surprisingly though, both conversations asked the exact same things, yet were setup as separate 30 minute interviews. Seemed redundant and very rushed from my perspective. Had no time to ask any questions on my end at the end of the first 30 minute session. Why not do one panel for 60 minutes instead? Bad structure and execution. Just rejected a few minutes before close of business a few days later. Rejection email was the most self-righteous, pretentious drivel I have read in a long time. They tried to give some feedback, which I appreciate in spirit, but the manner in which it was written neglected differentiation that took place in my two 30 minute interview sessions, making it inaccurate and therefore irrelevant. For example, I had more time in the second interview, because the panelist was able to go over-time, therefore, I was able to flush out more detail in a few anecdotes vs. the first. Yet, the rejection claimed I answered a couple questions exactly the same in both, which is blatantly untrue--I had more time and flushed out more detail in the latter vs. the former. Based on the wording of their email, this company believes they are special and unique in dealing with complex challenges in the 2026 business/workforce experience. This is far from the case. Dodged a mistake here...

I went through the interview process with this company. The process was organized, and the people I met were polite. However, I noticed a lack of diversity, as all seven people I met in my three interviews were white. I did well in the behavioral interview and got good feedback on my technical skills, but I wasn't chosen. During the tech interview, I felt an uncomfortable vibe from the interviewers, like they weren't at ease with a person of color. It's hard to describe, but it felt like a date where the other person isn't interested. This unsettling feeling started from the beginning of the tech interview. The feedback I got afterwards was also misleading and didn't match our discussions. Even though the interviews were about mobile and backend, they incorrectly said my Shopify skills were weak. This misrepresentation is disappointing and makes me question the fairness of their process. The company seems to have potential, and many people were kind. However, it feels like people of color might still face challenges in interviews, even when overqualified. While most of the team was welcoming, a couple of individuals seemed uncomfortable around me, and it was noticeable. These experiences show that biases might still exist, even if subtly. Companies need to keep promoting diversity and inclusion and make sure interviews are fair for everyone. Also, giving honest and accurate feedback is super important for candidates' growth and the company's integrity. Overall, my experience was mixed. I liked parts of the interview process but was disappointed by potential bias and the misleading feedback. I hope the company uses this feedback to improve their process, address biases, and give real feedback. This is based on my personal experience.
