Lied To Get Me There
Lied To Get Me There
Good work-life balance, interesting work, and smart peers.
Layoffs, constant stress, accomplishing nothing significant (depends on the team). I told them that I was in a secure position at my current job in a secure industry. I asked them if the role I was being hired for was at risk of layoffs if the economy got bad. They assured me there was no risk of layoffs. The economy got slightly bad, and I was laid off despite high performance.
Don't lie to candidates.

It was easy and to the point. The interviewer was sweet and allowed me enough time to think about how to approach solving the problems. The coding question asked was for an inventory and managing it. It was an easy solve with the right data structure

First was an exam of problem-solving with 2 questions. Then 4 interviews over 2 days, or all in 1 day after the exam passed, but I didn't join them; I just did the exam.
