Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Aledade em ago. de 2021
Entrevista
The interview process started with a phone introduction. Scheduling the call went fine. I felt like the employee I talked to (a recruiter) was unusually terse with me. I was explained very little about the role and almost nothing about Aledade. When I tried to ask questions about the company, the interviewer told me they would send an email with information about the company. They didn't seem to want to actually tell me anything themselves.
The second interview was with an engineering manager. He asked me some basic background information and stuff about my current position. He then asked a bunch of technical questions, but there was no coding problem given. The questions were mostly about programming language concepts. Nothing too difficult (I thought).
I was then given a coding challenge to complete. It was said to take about 3 hours. I was given 5 days to complete the challenge. The three problems are described in the example questions, but I felt that the auto-grading was failing when it should have passed.
After submitting the assignment, I waited one week without getting any response. I finally emailed the original phone screen recruiter, who told me to call them. During that call, they said they were apparently no longer looking for non-senior candidates, but they would keep me in mind. They also shared that they wished their company had told the m this before screening non-senior engineers.
Aledade does not really value its candidates time, and seems disorganized.
Perguntas de entrevista [3]
Pergunta 1
(Take home - Vue.js) Given a Vue.js component, query an endpoint and retrieve some data. Then, display that data in a table.
(Take home - Python) Given a list of integers and a run length N, return the indices in which runs of length N begin where the numbers either increase or decrease by 1 each new index.
(Take home - PostgreSQL) Given a table, return rows with a negative value if they exceed a total number of rows, coalesced by date, then summed to a total. (This was approximately the problem)
TL;DR: This company has an odd vibe, make sure that you're VERY detail oriented during your coding sessions - they are looking for deep knowledge of syntax. Higher level design stuff matters less than other places.
Pros:
- Very easy interview process
- Take home assessment with lots of time given to complete (leetcode medium + SQL statement question)
- 4 interviews total, less than other places
Cons:
- They are looking for syntax knowledge during live interview
- Pay is low compared to other places
- No one seemed happy/excited working there
Noteable weirdness:
- One of the managers said the company is stable, layoffs unlikely. Then bragged to me that they never had to worry about being laid off because of all their experience. Then they said the engineers they oversee still worry about layoffs because the engineers are "anxious and have mental health problems". Honestly a hilarious thing for a manager to say in an interview but I was a bit taken aback lol
- One of the engineers said "Where have you even used this language? Just in school?" When I made a syntax mistake during the live final interview. I was interviewing for a senior position, had made it through the first 3 interviews, and my resume lists many years of experience lol. Kind of a borderline disrespectful thing to say to someone that's interviewing. Like even if you know I've failed the interview you could at least be polite during the interview.
But hey maybe it's an awesome place to work! I wouldn't know. :)

Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Aledade (New York, NY).

There were 4 rounds one screening and the other 3 were technical rounds, mainly testing your knowledge of software technologies and tools. They give you enough time to answer all the questions, however, there is no pause on the timer (once started) if you have to take care of some emergency just in case.

Interviewed with Aledade. The interview wasn't too difficult. Took a final round panel interview this month. Didn't receive any news for a week. Finally the recruiter schedule a phone call to inform me that they are gonna terminate my process . So disrespectful. If you are gonna decline me, just send me an email, why schedule a phone call on purpose. I feel like my time was waste. This company is so unprofessional. Eventually I didn't get any useful feedback from them, purely waste of time.
