Software Dev Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process

The process was long and time-consuming, with the HR person quite slow in keeping me updated.

I was given questions I needed to answer, which took several hours of my time. After that, it was a long waiting game.

I would contact the HR representative one or more times before I would get an update. I felt that they didn't value my time and weren't really taking my interview process seriously. On one occasion, I received a message that indicated they meant a different candidate.

Given that one of their company values is Empathy, how they treat interview candidates is pretty poor.

Remote interviewers need to think of the candidate as sitting in a conference room waiting. Be responsive and keep them informed!

Other than the poorly managed interview process, the interview stages were quite interesting.

Once I spoke to the interviewers, I was quite impressed.
