First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Trov.
Customer Support and Insights Manager
Applied online and got a quick response. Was asked to answer a couple of questions via email, which I did promptly. A few days later, they contacted me to set up an interview. I interviewed on Google Hangouts the next week and was told I'd hear back in a couple of weeks. It's been over a month now and I haven't heard anything. Sent several emails and still no response. I'm okay with not getting the job, but really unhappy with how this was handled.
- Tell me about a time you improved a process.
Software Engineer
The application had more questions than I'm used to, which I found a bit much at first. But as I went through the process, I actually liked having the time to think about and write out my answers instead of having to come up with them on the spot during a phone screen. Then there was a phone call with the Hiring Manager, which seemed like a casual chat to get to know each other and for them to tell me about the company. I'm not totally sure what they were assessing there. After that, I got a take-home coding exercise. They asked me for an estimated completion time, and I sent them a link to a code repository once I was done. Lastly, I had a technical interview over video call with two people for about an hour. It was a pretty typical technical interview with some questions and coding. What really stood out was seeing how the two interviewers interacted, which gave me a great sense of what it's like to work there.
- Can you reverse the order of words in a string?
Server Software Engineer
The interview process included a phone screen, followed by a take-home project that took about 2-5 hours to complete. After that, there was an online technical interview and a final interview to check for fit. They used an online code-sharing tool for actual engineering questions, no tricks involved. The questions were pre-defined, and I had to fill in missing logic or fix existing bugs.
- Can you discuss good coding design and practices?
- Can you explain basic logic?
- What is involved in writing methods?
DevOps Engineer
Started with a recruiter call, then a 30 min phone interview where they went over my resume and I got to ask questions about Trov from the lead DevOps Engineer. Finally, an in-person meeting with two people where I took a test. The questions were more discussion-based, not simple yes/no.
- Can you define DevOps?
- What steps would you take to connect to a remote MySQL server?
- Describe your approach to handling database backups.
