Stylight Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I applied online and the first step was an HR call. Then, I was sent a technical challenge to complete within 2-3 days. After submitting it, I received an invitation for a technical interview 3-4 days later. This technical interview focused on discussing my approach to the technical challenge. Following up multiple times, I was invited 10 days later for a management interview with the CEO & VP, which seemed a bit unusual. Ultimately, I received a rejection email four days after that.

My interview process with Stylight took about a month. The main issue was their slow responses and not being clear about the process status, like if they were waiting for feedback or if other candidates were still being interviewed. They also didn't give an estimated wait time for the next steps. I had two main rounds. The first was a 20-minute call with the technical recruiter. He introduced himself, I introduced myself, and he asked about my company knowledge, salary expectations, and availability. Right after that, he gave me a take-home assignment to complete over the weekend. After I submitted it, I had to follow up after two weeks. The following week, I had my technical/managerial interview where we discussed my past experience and some improvements to my take-home assignment solution. I had to follow up again after another week, and that's when I found out I didn't make it to the next round. No feedback was given on why. Because I had to chase them for status updates for weeks, I doubt I would have gotten any feedback even if I had followed up more.

Started with a quick HR Skype call (about 15 mins) where they really sold the company. The next day, I got a take-home assignment due in two days. After that, there was a technical Skype interview with the team. We talked about my test assignment solution, I answered some theory questions, and did two coding problems on a whiteboard. It all felt pretty good. Then, I went to the office to hang out with the team and meet the CTO. We worked on a problem together, and we had lunch. I think I really messed up the problem-solving part with the team though. A few days later, I heard they went with someone else. A bit of a bummer, but my own fault. I'd give Stylight's hiring process a 5/5 – super fast, clear, and welcoming.
