shopkick Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The in-person interview was tough but super frustrating. It had three parts. The first interviewer seemed to always do the first rounds, gave a company overview, but was really arrogant. You had to use specific keywords like 'url signing' even if you knew the concept. The second interviewer had been there forever and knew all the systems; they were a bit less arrogant and asked about dynamic programming. The last round felt like forever with really wild questions that got harder and more far-fetched with follow-ups, like the interviewer was making them up.

Met with a recruiter at a career fair who set up a phone interview. There were three phone interviews in total, but I didn't get an offer. One interview was a behavioral one with HR, and the other two were technical interviews with engineers. The technical interviews involved coding questions done on a shared online document. They were very data structure heavy and let you use any programming language. The employees were nice and professional. The product seems interesting.

Had one phone interview with an engineer that lasted an hour. It wasn't really about the day-to-day job, more like trying to do what big companies like Amazon or Google do to hire coders.
