Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Gloo (Boulder, CO)
Colloquio
Phone interview followed by onsite. 2-3 sets of 2-3 people will interview you for a total of about 3 hours. Ask you questions about programming, solving problems and experience based questions. Lots of talking and relating. Social skills are extremely important. Followed by a small, trivial code interview. For example the Backend team did a interview with a user authentication system. And an IOS guy had you build a weather api consuming from a public API.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Gloo (Boulder, CO) nel mese di lug 2020
Colloquio
It was very pleasant. Initial phone screening with the recruiter, a call with an engineering manager, the remote "onsite", and an offer a couple days later. Wish they were all this easy.

Colloquio
It was strange and something of a waste of time.
I had two or three conversations with a recruiter, then a conversation with an engineer. Nobody could explain to me what this company does and I got the impression they found it rude of me to ask. The recruiter had pointed me to their website which (at the time) had a rather lengthy talk given by Scott Beck, if I recall correctly. It was some long discussion about helping "Champions" (whatever that is). At the end of the video I was no better informed than I was just looking at their website.
I still do not know what this company does. It seems to be some sort of "tool" for religious (Christian?) organizations which is fine if that's the case, but it is unclear from talking with people there. What little product I could find on the Google Play app store was beyond pathetic. It did not do anything useful.
I have been forced to conclude this is the waste-of-money toy created by the founder who obviously made a chunk of change running Blockbuster, Boston Market, and Einstein Bagels. I doubt he has any knowledge of the world of software, and perhaps he has his head stuck too far up his ... whatever.

None of the interview questions were particularly detailed. There were no technical questions.
