SproutLoud Media Networks Interview Questions
& Process

They kept insisting on a phone call, even after I asked for a Google Meet link. Suddenly, they decided to call me by phone anyway, ignoring my email about using Zoom or Google Meet. The interviewer seemed robotic, spoke fast Spanish, and had bad call quality. They didn't explain the role or company, and just wanted me to fill out a form and answer questions, even though we were both sick. I decided to withdraw because it felt like they were just trying to meet quotas and didn't present well or communicate effectively.

So, first there was a basic phone screen and then an interview with the hiring manager. They mostly asked general questions about my background to check my English. After that, I had to do some technical tests, like SQL queries and database design, which went fine. Then there was another interview with some technical leads. I felt like they weren't really into it from the start, seemed rushed and kind of dismissive. The questions weren't too hard if you've interviewed before (more database design, past experience stuff), but they kept looking at their phones and talking to others. It felt disrespectful, but I got a rejection email, which is better than no response at all.

We kicked things off with a group interview, which was actually with other candidates like me. There were 7 of us and 4 people from SproutLoud, including the CEO. They really emphasized their company culture and fitting in. The group setting felt a bit strange at first but turned out to be pretty interesting. They talked a lot about their culture and making sure it was a good match for both of us, which I appreciated. They mentioned there's a lot of room for growth and were really honest about the ride being a bit of a rollercoaster and the steep learning curve. I liked their transparency. At the end, they opened it up for us candidates to ask the SproutLoud employees anything, and the employees were super open and honest with their answers.

The interview process included a group interview where candidates were asked some fun questions. Two interviewers read questions and typed down answers. If you passed the group interview, you were invited for a one-on-one interview. The one-on-one interview was not great, the interviewers were unprofessional. I felt like they hadn't read my resume, and some questions were pretty offensive.
