Java Software Engineer Interview Experience

February 1, 2019

Process

There is no standard interview process with this company; they are all over the place, with no coordination amongst the recruiters working with you.

Initially, I was contacted by a recruiter. Without even an introduction call, they sent over a HackerRank challenge, which was not difficult and took about 60-90 minutes to complete.

A few days after completing the challenge, another coordinator reached out regarding the next steps, which involved a Zoom interview with the VP. A third coordinator then reached out and sent me the link for the Zoom interview.

I haven't heard anything back from them yet. I emailed the coordinator a week after the interview with the VP, but received no response, and it has been a week since then.
