Coding Technical System Design Behavioral
Applied in early March, the interview process was lengthy and a bit disorganized. Had an HR screening in mid-May, followed by a coding interview the same week. This coding interview was unexpectedly an OOP pairing session, not just problem-solving as advertised, which was a bit confusing. Then, there was a long silence until mid-July, when I was told the remaining three interviews (backend, values, and hiring manager) would be scheduled. However, only two interviews actually happened, and my follow-up about the missing hiring manager interview was ignored. The backend interview also lacked clear format guidance. After that, another two-month wait, and then in early September, I was informed the position was no longer available. Communication was slow, expectations weren't clear, and some interview stages seemed to be skipped.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Your task is to implement 5 functions, each with its own unit tests, to find the cheapest available worker who possesses a required skill, given a set of workers each having one or more skills. The Worker class and Skill enumeration are already defined.
- For the backend interview, you'll need to design a database schema for a task management service and then define its API endpoints.
- You'll also be asked about system design concepts, like scalability, reliability, or architecture trade-offs.

Coding Technical
The hiring process began with submitting an online application, which led to a recruiter call. Next, there was an online technical screen conducted by a software engineer. Most of the communication was with the recruiter. The engineer during the tech screen was quite condescending and dominated the conversation. They used unprofessional language like 'sweetie' and spent about 20 minutes of the 40-minute slot explaining the problem, which felt like mansplaining. It was bizarre and obvious that the interviewer might have biases related to gender. After the screen, I reported the interaction to the recruiter. Subsequently, an individual from Procore Technologies in Austin, TX, left a religiously abusive message on a message board I manage, saying, 'Not only do you suck at coding, [negative statement about the spiritual nature of the website].' I strongly suggest the company re-evaluate their staff, as both gender and religious discrimination are illegal. Overall, it strongly suggests a toxic work environment.

Coding System Design Behavioral
The interview process was pretty standard, with the recruiters keeping me in the loop and helping me prepare at each stage. It started with a quick chat with the recruiter. Then, there was a coding challenge with another developer. After that, the main interview had four parts: coding in a language I picked, a quick system design discussion, and some behavioral questions. I hit a few snags with the coding challenges; the first one was meant to be collaborative, but the second one wasn't really. The interviewer kept themselves muted the entire time and didn't offer any guidance or even simple acknowledgments. It went so poorly that they kindly offered me another shot. On the next coding challenge, the data input was incorrect, which I didn't notice until I was almost done. I brought it up but probably should have pushed back more. They offered me a role one level lower than what I applied for, likely due to my coding performance. I had another hiring manager chat lined up, but I'd already accepted a competing offer. The recruiters really made the overall experience much better by giving prompt feedback and being supportive when I let them know I was going with another opportunity. John and Matt are amazing! My only suggestion is to really perfect the coding challenge, ensuring the inputs are accurate and the questions are easy to understand. If the core coding challenge isn't collaborative, be upfront about it to set the right expectations.
