First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Mezmo.
Product Management Director
Talked to the recruiter who liked me. Then chatted with the CEO, it was a good meeting and mostly them trying to get me to join, and they wanted me to meet the eng and PM teams next. Then I got a generic rejection email. This company is all over the place. They seem to be making big changes.
- Can you tell me about the ARR?
- What was your previous team size?
Senior Security Engineer
After applying online and getting through the initial interviews, a 5-hour interview session was scheduled with different teams, though it was offered to be split up. It involved meeting several people who asked questions. The questions weren't perceived as very difficult, but the back-to-back nature made it tough to switch between topics like compliance, release engineering, management, pipelines, encryption, and security tools like SIEMs. Despite being told feedback would be given within 3 business days, I had to follow up twice. The feedback wasn't very helpful for future improvement, as I was rejected based on 'nice to have' qualifications rather than 'required' ones.
- Tell me about different types of encryption.
- What's your experience with pipeline management?
- How do you approach securing code?
Front End Developer
First, there was a quick 15-minute chat with the recruiter about the company and my background. They asked some standard questions like why I'm looking to leave my current role. After that, they sent over a technical assignment. It was a design-focused task where I had to build a clone of the Slack app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with the option to use frameworks. I spent a few days completing it and sent it back. I followed up a couple of times over the next few weeks but never got a response, which felt like a complete waste of my time and quite disrespectful.
- What's motivating you to seek a new position?
Software Engineer
The interview process was pretty standard. Started with a recruiter call where they went over the job description and talked about my background. Next up was a video call with the Engineering manager, who was great and introduced himself really well, I liked that call. Then, a video call with a senior developer where I got asked some Java coding questions, like reversing a string, which were pretty easy and I nailed them. Even though I thought it went well, I got a rejection email the following day.
- How would you reverse a string?
- What is the maximum subset sum in an integer array?
