Fui entrevistado pela ActiveCampaign (Chicago, IL) em jul. de 2020
Entrevista
I discussed open software engineer positions with an ActiveCampaign recruiter on LinkedIn, followed by a phone screen.
After that, I was given a take-home assignment with some questions about algorithms, database access, and API ingestion. Nothing was too difficult or out-of-left-field for a capable engineer - I thought it was a fair, well-rounded assessment of skills required for the position.
I soon after received an invitation for an "on-site" (which was actually virtual because of COVID). Before the on-site, the recruiter gave me a quick prep call to go through everything, then he sent me a detailed meeting agenda including a list of everyone I'd be talking to. I really appreciated the effort taken here to help me prepare and walk in with full confidence.
The on-site itself was pleasant, and was mostly comprised of discussions about my work history, as well as an ample amount of time for asking questions about the company. I reviewed the results of my take-home exercise with numerous people, where I expounded on my thought processes and dug deeper into some of the problems. Everyone was really nice and transparent throughout the process.
Roughly a week later, I was given a job offer which I accepted.
Overall great experience, and the recruiter did an excellent job facilitating things from the initial LinkedIn discussion to the job offer.

Candidatei-me de outra forma. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela ActiveCampaign (San José, ) em jul. de 2023

The interview process was super smooth. the entire process took two weeks.
The first thing was the CV screening through the platform, once I got contacted we scheduled a behavioral interview with the recruiting manager and then a technical interview with some engineers.
The recruiting manager was very friendly and did the typical behavioral questions about "tell me about a challenging situation at work", "how would you deal with this and that"
The technical interview was super nice, the engineers made me feel very safe and welcome, so it was very easy for me to talk my thought process at solving problems. when I got stuck, they would jump in to ask me questions that would guide me towards the correct discussion to make.

Received an email from a recruiter after applying to LinkedIn. Spoke with a recruiter in December saying they were interested in giving a coding exam. Weeks pass and never received the exam. In January got contacted again by the same recruiter saying they were exploring options and decided not to use an exam for candidates. Told me I was gonna move forward with an interview with an engineering manager. Spoke with the manager and she was respectful and helpful with any questions. Asked about behavioral what would you do in this situation and how you resolved it and technical questions about front end technologies ReactJS. After that was told that I wasn’t being moved forward.

If a coworker disagreed with you how would you resolve it?
Had a phone interview with the Engineering Manager. The call itself was a little low on the energy side, but ultimately went well in the sense that they expressed the desire to move forward with my application.
A few days after I received an automated email saying ActiveCampaign was not going to move forward. I then proceeded to email the Engineering Manager whom I interviewed with to get some clarity on the situation. They responded that the automated email was correct as the position had been filled.
TL;DR
Got straight up lied to by the Engineering Manager on a promised follow up.
