Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso mParticle (Seattle, WA) nel mese di set 2023
Colloquio
After the initial recruiter interview, there was a coding challenge (on my own), then a live coding assessment/exercise, interview with a manager, interview with a VP who asked design questions, and then finally a culture fit interview with another manager. In total, 5 interviews plus a couple recruiter calls in between.
I felt pretty good overall, interviewers were friendly for the most part - some of them actually helped me when I got a little bit stuck in the live coding session. The second coding interview took me by surprise because I was asked to change something in the code at the last minute, and I was expecting the interview to be simply an assessment/review. I struggled and could not finish the changes they wanted in time. The design interview (about architecting an e-commerce site) was pretty difficult too, but I'm glad I studied beforehand, and I feel I did pretty well.

Manager asked what my "absolute blockers" were, which I was unprepared for.

They expect you to allocate 6-8 hours for around 4 different interviews, which would have been fine if they at least had the decency to send a templated rejection at the end of the process, how difficult is it to respect candidates? Another garbage startup ghosting their candidates, stay away.

Colloquio
This company is quite honestly garbage when it comes to interviews.
They are completely backwards. Literally.
They first wanted me to do a technical challenge. THEN look over my resume. Then they didn't like my resume, after completing the technical challenge. What?
They don't seem to know how to hire. Also the gentleman I spoke to couldn't answer me asking what the most important thing he has learned working at mParticle is. Ended up stuttering and saying something along the lines of "there's always new challenges", aka, I "I can't answer how I've grown by working here."
