Seeq Interview Questions
& Process

It was a pretty straightforward interview. The interviewer asked me to briefly talk about myself, then went over my resume and I explained some things there. Finally, the interviewer told me what they were willing to pay annually, I asked if there was room for negotiating, and I was told there wasn't. Shortly after that I got a mail inviting me to a 1hr technical interview. The technical interview was also straightforward, first step involved some code review, then we went on to build out a UI on sandbox.

I had an interview with Seeq and was told there would be a second round. After the first call, I emailed twice to follow up but never heard back. It's a shame because the company seems to have potential, but they showed little respect for my time and effort. Getting ghosted after meeting the team is unprofessional and disappointing. Communication is important, and this left a bad impression.

I first spoke with a recruiter for a contact and screening interview. The next phase was a live interview with two engineers where I was given a code design task. The questions were broad and streamlined, making it unclear what specific answer was expected, as the problem could be solved in multiple ways. They allowed for questions, but there wasn't a clear answer about merging strategy or handling different environments. All tests are the responsibility of the developers, which suggests that the quality and coverage of automatic, integration, and end-to-end tests are not well-organized. The system seems to be more reactive than proactive, dealing with code and bugs as they arise. I didn't receive any feedback, despite it being promised. This often happens when there are no clear criteria for interview success, and interviews seem more like a way to advertise the company's 'successful' work, wasting more time than providing value.

The interview process was quite unusual. It started with a one-on-one interview where I was asked some really random and surprisingly funny, yet a bit anxiety-inducing, questions. Then, I had a second interview which turned out to be a Zoom call with about 8-9 different people who all asked pretty similar questions. I was asked to prep a presentation about myself, which I thought was a bit strange, and during the presentation, all 10 people on the call were completely silent. After I finished, there weren't any questions about the presentation itself.
