Process

I applied for a senior software engineer role and the process went as follows:

  1. Introductory call with their technical recruiter
  2. Take-home assessment consisting of 3 technical tasks
  3. Call with engineering team lead
  4. Virtual on-site with: a. 1 hour live coding exercise b. 1 hour system design c. 30 min call with product manager (behavioral) d. 30 min wrap-up call with engineering lead (behavioral + light technical)

I was also asked to do one final 45-minute live coding task.

Overall, I thought the process was very fair. The people I spoke to were friendly and the recruiter was very responsive. While I didn't receive an offer, I thought it was a good process and would recommend Tempus if you're considering interviewing with them.
