PermitFlow Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

So first I had a recruiter call where they asked for permission to record. Then came the take-home assessment, which was to build a CRUD app in three hours. Didn't need to finish everything, but a working prototype was necessary. Also had to make a short video explaining my work and talk about extra features I might've added. It felt like a lot for just an initial screen, and there wasn't any feedback. The recruiter got back in a few days and said I'd move to the next round. They called it a coding interview, but it was actually a design interview. The interviewer was nice, but the pacing was off. The task was to design a system for storing their questionnaires and questions. The design interview itself was also recorded without asking for permission, which is kind of weird.

The interview process was fine overall. The initial take home was a lot for just a screen, asking to build a full CRUD app in three hours. Then there were a few technical screening rounds. It was pretty standard, but I was surprised to not get any feedback on my submission. They didn't even go over my CRUD work in the later rounds, which was annoying since I spent so much time on it. Also, they didn't give much of a reason when they rejected me.

A trusted advisor referred me to PermitFlow. I met with Sam, the CTO and a co-founder, who was super nice and flexible. It was a quick and pleasant process: a take-home assignment, a live coding interview, a cultural chat, and then reference checks. I'd tell any engineers who are good with products to apply.
