Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HomeLight nel mese di apr 2022
Colloquio
The entire process took about one month, but realistically if needed it looks like you could get the whole thing done in two weeks.
- Chat with recruiter to determine fit.
- Chat with EM.
- Pair programming exercise.
- System design exercise.
- Chat with Director of Engineering.
- Chat with PM.
HomeLight invests a lot of time here on their end and all interviews even the exercises are very conversational, team is forthcoming and equally interested in selling the company & culture as they are about evaluating you. It was a fantastic interview experience and superior to other interviews I've sat through from other companies where the engineers I talked to didn't even work for the company itself (outsourced hiring).

Domanda 1
- Conversational pair programming exercise, nothing tricky.
- System design. Two phases: design a hypothetical system and then
La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HomeLight
Colloquio
1. Screen with recruiter
2. Half hour chat with EM, mostly about high level tech experience and what their team does
3. Onsite (mine was virtual) consisting of a few 30 minute interviews:
- quite basic pair programming exercise with engineer from the team
- meet with engineer from the team
- meet with PM from the team
4. Chat with Director of Engineering, although I've heard some also meet with the CTO

Domanda 1
There was a heavy focus around collaboration and team culture, rather than a focus on tricky technical questions. The EM, engineers, and Director of Engineering were very interested in the technical details of my past work and knew how to check my understanding, but not try to trick me.
Pair programming was making simple calls to an API in the language of your choice, but without using external libraries. This eventually built into several calls and the engineer was interested in refactoring, efficiency, and my thought process.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso HomeLight nel mese di ott 2021
Colloquio
The process took a month. Applied on Oct 2021. Didn't get an offer neither feedback explaining the reasons why not.
I think is fair for a candidate to receive meaningful feedback after expending several hours on the whole cycle of interviews.

Questions about background (but focused only on the immediate job), software architecture, pair programming.
