I applied on Sept 13, 2020 and heard back from the Senior HR Generalist for an interview on Sept 22. We officially interviewed on Sept 28. It was pretty informational and the HR Generalist seemed engaged. The questions they asked about my background and experiences let me show off my skills more than the usual 1st round questions. They said I'd hear back in about a week. I sent two thank you emails, one right after and another on Oct 2. No reply, but then I got an email Oct 7 saying they were still doing initial interviews. I asked when the 2nd round interviews would start but didn't get a response. So, I emailed again on Oct 20 about my status since it had been over 3 weeks since my interview. About 4 hours later, I got an email saying they hired someone else who accepted the day before. The whole experience of being kept waiting for weeks after the first interview was not good.

My interview journey began with a preliminary chat with an HR recruiter over the phone. It was a great conversation where I got to know more about the job, the company, and its overall vibe. After that, I was asked to join a virtual meeting with two interviewers for the next stage. Honestly, the questions in this round weren't particularly memorable. Everyone I met was really nice and super enthusiastic about the company. The whole interview process was fantastic, though I'm bummed I didn't get the job. I'll definitely keep an eye on this company for future openings.

Technical Coding

The whole interview process was pretty fast, wrapping up in about two weeks. It started with a phone screening. Then, there was a 45-minute interview with the manager that covered all the technical stuff. Finally, there was a coding challenge for QA. Overall, it was a good experience. The interviewers were really supportive. They even called me back to give feedback even though they hired someone else, which was nice.
