I was invited to spend about an hour trying out the process to see if it was a good fit. It was kind of an anti-interview because they need to see if you really can handle the job. So I helped unload a large truck for 30 minutes with a nice fellow. Then I loaded a truck for 30 minutes with a freindly worker. Then I was invited back for a group meeting to ask questions and sign a contract. Very friendly people.

It was remote, and I spoke with a manager and two developers from the team. They asked me about my experience and coursework, then some questions about OOP principles and basic DSA concepts. No live coding, just the fundamentals. They also asked how I've used specific frameworks and languages in my projects.

I had a really bad experience with this hiring process. I got a mix of emails and texts, but no clear instructions. They told me I passed the in-person orientation, but never said where it was, so I never went. I've been opening help tickets because I keep getting texts to show up at a job site and report to a supervisor, but I've never been given a supervisor's name. All the help numbers just redirect me to i9 help, and they tell me to contact my supervisor. It's a frustrating loop.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • What does your driving record look like?
  • Are there any issues that would come up on a background check?
