Colloquio
Recruiter reached out after finding my information online.
Spoke with her and we agreed to do 2 phone interviews then onsite.
They reached out early in my job search, so I kept postponing but they were OK with that.
Each phone interview started with a couple behavioral questions like 'why Compass?' + 'what are you looking for? - then went into medium difficulty questions. The interviewers have been with Compass for years.
Then the onsite was also with senior people/management and they asked quite difficult questions. They seemed very smart to me and I found our discussions went well, which was a big factor in me accepting the offer.
One thing I'd change: my interviewers were often quite late (which is being improved). And they could have answered my questions for them better.

Domanda 1
the recruiter should let you know what to expect, but Leetcode medium/hards + system design should be expected

Pretty chill. Three rounds of debugging, technical (leetcode), and behavioral, which was more like high-level with AI assistance. The values did not come up very much while going through the interview process.

Had us do an AI round about forms and matching things.
Debugging, technical, then behavioral. I had been given two language options for the debugging portion (Java or Python) during the phone interview then when I went to the onsite there seemed to be a miscommunication because the interview said I could use JS since I was applying as a frontend engineer. The debugging was pretty doable, the behavioral was odd but fine.

The interview process felt chaotic and poorly organized. What I was asked in the interview didn’t align with what HR told me to expect, and the interview started late. The lack of alignment between HR and the interviewer made it feel like the company overall may be chaotic. Afterward, HR’s follow-ups were generic and robotic, and the employer also mentioned layoffs, which added to the uncertainty. Overall, it didn’t feel worth the effort.
