RouteMatch Software Interview Questions
& Process

I received a call from the Recruiter at Routematch who asked me a few questions about my experience. Next, I came in for an in-person interview that lasted about 2 hours. The process was smooth, and contrary to some reviews I'd seen, I was pleasantly surprised. The recruiter was great throughout, very professional, open, and honest. She was my first contact. I then interviewed with two other Executives. Both were approachable and genuinely interested in the company and getting to know me, which was a refreshing change. They talked about positive changes happening at the company and even addressed Glassdoor reviews, wanting to discuss them openly. It seems like a great company navigating some growth challenges.

I initially spoke with a recruiter who asked about my current work, why I was leaving, and general background info. Then, I had a 2-hour interview with different people from various teams, rotating every 15 minutes. This part included technical questions and coding problems where they wanted to see alternative solutions, and they probed into my resume's tech stack. They said they'd decide within a day or two. This interview was pretty rough. They said they'd accommodate my busy schedule and find a morning or afternoon slot, but scheduled me for noon, which was inconvenient given the travel time. When I arrived, it was chaotic, with staff figuring things out last minute. The person I was supposed to meet wasn't even there. While the first few interviewers were okay, the rapid rotation meant repeating myself and not getting in-depth conversations. Some later interviewers seemed disengaged, avoiding eye contact. They criticized a technically correct but inefficient coding answer I gave, especially since I was coding on the spot. When I asked a team lead about career paths, he redirected me to HR, which felt like a bad sign. HR then mentioned that people from my previous laid-off team were too expensive, hinting at no growth potential. I didn't get an offer, just an apology email for their conduct. The recruiter never called, only sent the email. My advice: avoid this place.

After applying, you'll get an email to come for an interview. Once you arrive, you'll get a clipboard with paperwork to fill out the first page, and the interviewer will fill out their page. You'll go to a room with other job seekers and wait for your group to start the speed interview session. Other groups will be waiting in a glass room while yours is interviewing. Be aware that if you're not extremely young, you may not get hired. Also, don't ask for over 30k for a Cust Support Specialist job. They might trick you into revealing your desired pay, which should align with GlassDoor's listed rates. I mentioned 50k and was immediately flagged, even though my interviews went exceptionally well and I connected with each interviewer personally and professionally.

Applied for the role and got a quick call. The recruiter was nice and set up an interview with the VP, who was also really nice and relaxed. The third interview onsite was rough though. It was hard to find the place, and what should have been a 5-part interview got cut to 3. I told them I was entry-level with only unit testing experience in Java, but they kept asking about their specific tools and company traits. The questions were broad, and they expected specific answers. A guy in a tuxedo asked if I'd leave for more money elsewhere, which was weird. The company seems great with good leaders, especially the VP, but the QA team seemed strange and rude. I decided to take another job offer at a corporate place instead. Also had to pay for parking because their validation machine wasn't working.
