Content Manager
Had two interviews first, then was asked to make and present a plan to update an e-newsletter for the third round. Spent a lot of time on the task. When HR told me I wasn’t going to be selected, I asked for feedback but got no response. I don’t think unpaid work like this is ethical anymore and it’s often used for free labor.

Data Engineering Lead
The interview process at TPT was well-organized and felt fair. All the people I interacted with were both intelligent and pleasant. It started with a chat with an internal recruiter. Next, I had a call with the hiring manager, followed by a technical screen that involved a brief coding challenge. The final stage had four parts: a session on regular software systems design, one on data-specific systems design, a programming discussion, and a culture-focused conversation. There was also a casual 30-minute coffee chat. TPT was consistently responsive and supportive. My overall impression of the company is very good; the employees seem genuinely happy and committed to the company's mission.

Software Engineer
The hiring process was super quick, which I was not expecting! I applied online and heard back from a recruiter in less than five days who wanted to move forward. What I really liked about TpT's recruiting was how they kept me updated via email and responded super fast! The whole interview thing took about 2-3 weeks, with a new round each week. First up was a phone chat with a team member to talk about the job, the interviews, and just get acquainted. Then, I had a coding challenge to do over a few days. The next step was a live technical interview with a software engineer on Google Hangouts. It was really chill and friendly. We started with some behavioral and background questions, then one coding problem. They watched me code and asked about test cases, including for edge cases. The last round was a technical chat with an engineering manager, also on Google Hangouts. This was also super friendly and laid-back. We chatted, then I got a technical coding question. After I gave my answer, we discussed space/time complexity, edge cases, and how I'd adapt the solution if the requirements changed. I loved my interview experience because everyone was so friendly and quick to respond. TpT doesn't make you wait around; they give you feedback right away and reply to emails within a day or two. I was really impressed when they messaged me right after my third interview to set up the final one! All in all, TpT has the best interview process I've had in ages – not too many rounds, I got to chat with the interviewers directly, and they were super fast with their replies.
