The online portion was fantastic. The test itself relied on some puzzles that required thinking outside the box.
On the other hand, the on-site interview was quite underwhelming. Certainly, it makes sense to test the questions that they required. However, when a company touts that it is competing with Google and Facebook for talent, one can easily see that Squarespace certainly sets a much different and much lower bar for engineering. The questions asked would not gauge much besides an individual's bare minimum ability to do the job.
Every company has its interview process. However, I wouldn't place this company at the caliber of tech giants, but certainly above many startups.
Perhaps making the tests pass in the online portion was the hardest part.
