So sorry you had a disappointing interview experience - but many thanks for your feedback. Since this interview, we've made steps to improve the experience for candidates - both in terms of the pace, the assessment and our process. From initial chat/coffee, through to coding challenge, coding challenge assessment and then (depending on role) half or one day audition - we aim to move at the pace of the candidate and are in most cases able to issue offers within one working day. If a candidate isn't right for the role we offer, we provide detailed feedback from each part of the assessment - that way we try to make it win-win from a candidate perspective - an offer for a suitable role or useful constructive feedback that we hope is useful for their career progression. Throughout the process, we try and expose how the company and it's people really work - so a candidate gets to make an assessment of Triptease too. We've invited candidates to town halls, tech showcases, spend a day with the team etc. with no interview pressure. It was wrong to contact your references pre-offer and I'm please to report that this is not something we have done since. HTH James (CTO)
