UnitedMasters Interview Questions
& Process

The hiring process was simple and informative, giving me a good understanding of the company and the role. It included one phone screen and an onsite interview. However, it took about a month to hear back after the onsite.

Had a quick phone chat with the recruiter. About 20 mins in, they dropped the bomb that the role was already offered to someone else, and I was only being considered as a backup in case that person declined. Got a copy-paste rejection email less than a day later. Honestly, why even bother? So rude and unprofessional.

The interview process was pretty straightforward and open. HR reached out first for a call, then I spoke with the Hiring Manager. After that, I had an interview with the Hiring Manager. HR followed up by phone. Both the Hiring Manager and HR let me know an offer was coming. We then spent a few weeks negotiating the offer after it was formally sent. So, from start to finish, it took about 4-5 weeks. The interviews were direct and transparent, which might not be for everyone, but it fits the business development team's style of direct, clear, and open communication. They also stressed the importance of being okay with uncertainty since the company is growing fast. The interview really focused on specific examples of what I'd done and my comfort level in a high-growth setting.

I was really excited about the opportunity to work at UnitedMasters, but was left disappointed by the interview process. After a phone screen with a recruiter (who was very kind and informative) I had an interview scheduled with a senior engineer and an engineering leader. In order to be best prepared for the interview I asked very specifically in advance what the nature of the call would be and if it would be a live-coding assessment. I was assured it would not be live coding so therefore I prepped for a behavioral interview. I was shocked when I got on the call and was immediately given a live coding assessment. This isn't the way to get the best out of candidates as I was not prepared and very caught off guard. Even after sharing I was told it would not be a technical interview, I was rudely told "well whatever it shouldn't matter". At least I found out that these are people I wouldn't want to work with!
