Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Trala nel mese di ago 2023
Colloquio
Introduction conversation with questions about work experience. This part was good, the interviewer was great. The second part of the process is a takehome coding test where they want you to setup a new repository on GitHub and then create a pull request and add the interviewer to review the code. They state they have a preference for JavaScript or TypeScript and there is no starting code provided at all. It is a poor process, they would have done better to use a canned project from HackerRank or LeetCode. Zero feedback and zero way to check for collaboration skills with this takehome coding method.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'agenzia di reclutamento personale. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Trala (Chicago, IL) nel mese di ott 2023
Colloquio
1. Screened via third party recruiter
2. Interview One - 30 minute intro conversation with one of the engineers who manages the interview process
3. Hard Skills Test - 3 hours to complete involving. The test is self-created and Trala does not use a third-party system like HackerRank or Codility
4. Second Interview - Meet with other team members, the hiring manager, etc.
I didn't progress beyond the hard skills test. From my experience, the level of effort was difficult to achieve in the timeframe, I estimate I needed another 4 hours to complete the number of requirements with the appropriate tests. I did lose some time building my solution as I had to configure a workspace for the demo project, if I had to do it over again, I would have set up that workspace ahead of time.
I also wish these kinds of tests provided feedback so I could understand how to improve my skills.
