Process
There are several steps :
- A timed online coding test (implement a vanillaJS/HTML/CSS Battleship game in 90 minutes)
- A take-home coding test that usually takes 5 to 7 hours to complete
- A HR screening call
- Three 1 hour interviews back-to-back to study your solution to the take-home coding test, talk with designers and engineers, then discuss with a team leader
I had to wait 2 weeks to hear from Circle after the initial coding test and had another offer in the meantime, thus did not move forward with them.
Questions

Ups and Downs
Software Engineer • Current Employee
October 8, 2019
Pros: - A lot of fun people to work with
- Nice office
- Working in an interesting space
- Compensation is good
Cons: - Constantly changing priorities
- Execs and other leaders acknowledge and applaud their transparency however there is a lot of priority-related work that is not disclosed. This ultimately leads to a lot of people not being in-the-know, and working on aimless, non-prioritized work -- making individuals' contributions feel worthless and irrelevant since work never makes it to our customers.
