Very swift and organized interview process covering about 4 weeks. I was contacted by a recruiter after applying for a quick 30 minute chat about my background and experience. After this I was scheduled for a 30 minute video interview with the manager. This was pretty casual and mostly HR questions related to how situations would be handled if x or y came up. Nothing technical just my background and experience. I was passed from this round to the take home technical challenge that I had about 2 days to complete. This was a simple javascript related challenge regarding their product. Next, a scheduled in person interview with 4 people, including the manager I previously interviewed with over video. Mostly questions related to my background, experience, why I am interested in the role and a couple questions related to my interpretation of the technical challenge. After this, I was told to expect to hear back in a couple weeks due to the holiday season. to my surprise I was contacted within the next few days with an offer!

I couldn't be more upset or disappointed in the interview process. To start, the recruiter was horrible at communicating and responding to emails. At the end of our initial interview, she said she was emailing me the coding take-home assessment right then. I didn't receive it for almost 48 hours, and that was also over 24 hours after I emailed her to follow up and ask for it. Then, she didn't include the files I needed to complete the assessment, and when I realized and emailed her, it took a week for her to respond and send me the files. Additionally, after I was told my assessment was reviewed and I advanced to the next round, which was presenting it to two Solutions Engineers, she called me 45 minutes before my interview was scheduled to start and says they added a last-minute live coding portion to the interview. As someone who struggles with anxiety and gets very nervous and tends to blank during live coding interviews, not being able to prepare, and being given only a 45-minute heads up is beyond unprofessional, disrespectful, and frustrating. I received feedback that my take-home assessment and presentation of it were great, however I didn't pass the live coding portion. So I excelled at the part I had time to prepare for, but I didn't do well at the part I wasn't given time to prepare for. I've dealt with bad recruiters and frustrating interview processes before, but these were by far the worst. I honestly think I dodged a bullet with this company.
