They moved pretty fast, within a week of me turning in a code test I had an offer. And shortly after that a start date. Wonderful company to interview/work with. I did 2 interviews and a number of emails back and forth with questions.

Coding Behavioral Technical

The interview process is really thorough and fair, but it felt like too much for a smaller software company where hiring isn't their main focus. I got to the final round and thought I did well, but they said they had too many great candidates and didn't offer me the job. A few weeks later, the job was posted again. It seems like they put a lot of people through a long interview process, which isn't really fair. My advice is to stop inviting so many people to the final stages if you're not planning to hire them. The job itself is just a standard software role for $110k. Maybe if they were paying a competitive salary for what they consider a top performer, it would make sense. But they're putting too much effort and requirements on candidates for the actual position. It's weird because I feel like someone who actually meets their standards wouldn't stay long for $110k. The last round involves a screen share where you have to write code based on provided unit tests. The concept is okay, but their specific domain logic is too obscure, and I think it sets people up to fail.

The interview process was really long, stretching over a month. I put in a lot of effort with tests, refactors, and studying because the job description sounded so promising, but it ended up being a huge time sink. I hope they treat employees better than they treated my time. The steps were: 1. Code refactor, resume, and cover letter. 2. Coding Challenge. 3. CEO interview. 4. Group Interview. 5. A day spent in the codebase. Each step could take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to get through.

During the interview, the recruiter might ask about your past experiences and specific instances where you've used your skills. Even if you're unsure what will be asked, reviewing your resume can help you prepare. Also, the interview isn't just for repeating what's on your resume. Since the recruiter has already seen your professional summary, don't just reiterate all the information from the document. A better approach is to highlight your strengths and unique qualities that aren't detailed on your resume.
