My interview experience at Craneware was really great. The HR people were super helpful and clear about everything from the get-go, making the process easy and friendly. What really impressed me were the managers I talked to; they had a good grasp of both technical stuff and leading a team. The talks felt more like sharing ideas than a formal interview, and I felt like I learned a lot from them. The time just flew by, and I left feeling even more keen about the job and the team.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The HR person was super nice and the first phone screen went great. Then I had a Zoom interview with two people. We really clicked and they seemed nice too. I thought I was moving forward. The next week, I had a Zoom scheduled with a VP, but she ghosted me. I contacted HR, who apologized and promised to reschedule. I followed up via text and email several times over the next five days, but I never heard back. It's like they completely ignored me. It sounds like someone else had a similar experience. Job searching is tough. Please be nicer to candidates.

Behavioral Technical Coding

The interview process started with a phone chat with HR covering behavioural topics, followed by a take-home coding challenge. Finally, there was a technical interview with a senior engineer and the team manager, which felt very representative of the actual job. Everyone was nice and professional, and the whole thing was pretty quick and efficient. I ended up turning down the offer because another role was a better match for what I wanted to do, but I'd still recommend this company and would consider them again later.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process took a long time. I had 3 interviews, but everything was dragged out. I really dislike when companies do this. I received a rejection email 3-4 weeks after my final interview. I contacted them a few times about the status and was told I was still being considered. This has been a very tough time for me lately when looking for an HR job. It's way too exhausting for companies to prolong an interview process without communication. Then to get a rejection email with such disregard after going through hoops to interview. It's disgusting.
