Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initial chat with talent rep.

1 AI-assisted interview and then 4 rounds:

  • Behavioural
  • Code review
  • System design
  • Programming

This took about 3 weeks in total.

You'll get matched to random people who aren't really connected to the role you're applying for. At the end of it, there's supposedly a team selection process where you might be offered a role you hadn't applied for.

This whole process makes you question what you're even doing this for, since you'll only get to talk to your potential manager and teammates, who could really answer your questions about the role, once the process is over.

Questions

Describe a time when your team failed at something and what you did to mitigate that failure.
