Tempo Interview Questions
& Process

The online assessment had mostly easy questions, but the last one was tricky. It included some multiple choice questions about React, followed by two React coding problems in an online IDE. Anyone with basic React knowledge would find the multiple choice questions easy.

The interview process was pretty straightforward, but I never really got to speak with a full-time employee or anyone in leadership directly relevant to the job. Apparently, due to the high turnover and so many moving parts, they can't find anyone to commit full-time, which felt like a total red flag. Most people I spoke with were temporary contract employees, yet they were making the business and hiring decisions. They seemed scared to invest money to scale. I was ghosted after the final interview and wasn't hired.

Went through all the interview rounds. It was average, but some interviewers asked questions that weren't related to UX writing, making it seem like they didn't understand the role. The main issue was after waiting a week and emailing to follow up, they sent a generic rejection email. It wasn't even from the recruiter, but a general email address, and it was the same template they probably send to everyone. I think an email is fine for rejection, but a template one feels really cheap.

I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn and agreed to a call because I'm passionate about fitness. The process included a phone screen, a sourcing exercise, and another call. After the initial screen, I did a sourcing exercise but got no confirmation or feedback. I had to follow up multiple times to schedule the second call, which I was told to do before it. Both calls felt like rapid-fire questioning from their side. I expected an intro to the company, role, and interviewers, but they only provided this information when I asked. Oddly, the LinkedIn profile link they sent didn't work. During the second call, the interviewer was late, didn't apologize, and left only 2 minutes for my questions, which I skipped as I was done. The whole experience felt impersonal, disorganized, and inefficient. I was disappointed and relieved to get a generic rejection email. My impression of the company isn't great due to their recruitment strategy and lack of professionalism. Candidates' time and experience matter, as it reflects on the company.
