I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week.
Initial Phone Screen - 30 min Relaxed conversation about Starburst Data’s company culture and mission as well as questions about my personal experience/goals. Code Assessment - 3 Hours Difficult full stack interview made more difficult because their boilerplate code did not compile or run.
I chose to spend the time writing pseudo code and detailing my approach to demonstrate my full stack experience, as I had faith they would recognize their mistake and see my experience as an engineer. They instead chose to not move forward with the feedback that my code did not compile. This was very frustrating because I could have easily written the specs in 3 hours using other full stack technologies.
