Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Pros:

  • Streamlined scheduling for recruiter and technical interviews.
  • Screening for multiple locations and teams.

Cons:

  • One hour technical interview was supposed to be 45 minutes for coding, but since the question involved multiple parts (up to 4), a lot of time was wasted by the interviewer, who was a new grad and not well-trained.
  • Candidates are also required to explain the solution at the end of each part, even when all test cases pass, which reduces the time left for subsequent parts of the question.
  • It was pretty much impossible to finish all 4 parts given only 30 minutes of coding time.
