ServiceTrade Interview Questions
& Process

So the interview wasn't too bad, I just personally didn't know my stuff well enough. It started with an HR screening, and then the second round was a 1-hour technical interview with two team members. They didn't ask any Leetcode questions, it was more about whether I knew my stuff and understood full stack.

We began by reviewing my past experience and internships. Then, we went over my understanding of specific areas the company was interested in, and I shared how I applied this knowledge in my studies and internships. We also discussed my familiarity with the company and what to expect regarding the timeline.

The interview kicked off with a phone screening, which went well. I got great feedback and was told I'd advance. The next step was meeting with a Sales Engineer already on the team. I sent a thank you email. A week later, I followed up again and was informed that there were already two candidates who had been in the process before me and they were moving forward with them. Two questions I have are: 1. Why interview me if there were already other candidates? 2. Why did it take a week and two follow-ups to get this info? I get having multiple candidates, but it's more professional and courteous to be upfront about where things stand with applicants. Otherwise, it's just a waste of everyone's time.

The interview process was split into three parts, all conducted virtually via Zoom. I interviewed with the hiring manager, who was really knowledgeable and friendly, and the interviews felt more like casual conversations rather than high-pressure assessments. They asked some behavioral and technical questions to see how prepared I was, but the focus was mostly on cultural fit. The final interview was with a C-level executive, and it was a fantastic experience overall. It was a great interview process!
