Hello! Thank you for your feedback. First and foremost, we want to assure you that we have incredibly talented and hardworking teams solving the problems our company strives to solve every day. We have lots of interesting problems that come up routinely in our work, and while we may have been excited to share a glimpse into that, it’s certainly a miscommunication if our interview led you to think that we were using the interview to design our own system, and we’re very sorry to hear that this was the impression you took away from the conversation.
What said, we do use interview questions that tend to reflect real issues in our industry as it relates to our platform, more so to give our candidates a glimpse of what they will be working on. We also see interviews as an opportunity for both the team and candidates to explore how they would collaborate on problems together. Many of our candidates appreciate this approach.
For a robust look “Under The Hood” of what to expect in the Transfix interview process, please feel free to check out this blog post written by our VP of Engineering: https://underthehood.transfix.io/posts/2022-03-15-software-engineering-interview-process
We always appreciate feedback as we know that interviewing can be stressful and hope that all candidates who interview with Transfix take something of value away from their experience with us, whether they are offered a job or not.
