Process

Multiple interview process:

  1. Pre-Screen CV walkthrough

  2. 1:1 coding Challenge

  3. 3hr "Loop" interview

  4. Pre-Screen easy enough walkthrough role and your CV

  5. Live code Challenge (paired), count unique words in an array

  6. The Initial 2hrs of the loop interview were straightforward enough and fun The last hour in the invite email was described as a "Paired" programming challenge wasn't so good. The interviewer in this part seemed very disengaged. Logically I was able to describe what needed to be done - writing the actual code with an interviewer eyeballing you via Zoom was very uncomfortable and a little unsettling. I completed the challenge and got it to compile and work as expected, with online resources [advised to do so by the interviewer]. Still, despite this being a "paired" programming challenge the interviewer offered no support

I got a rejection email but was offered no tangible feedback to improve for future interviews. My request for feedback has been ignored
