Recruiter screen Hiring manager call Tech screen Onsite consisting of: Two mission and values interviews System design The hiring manager asked some really rudimentary trivia type questions. I've done a lot of hiring manager screens and this was the first time I've been asked to describe "what happens when a browser fetches a web page". It left a pretty bad taste in my mouth but I decided to move to the next stage. I didn't make it past tech screen. The recruiter did very little candidate prep and I had no idea what kind of technical screen I was walking into. It turns out it was a frontend interview. It was a three step interview where each step was unveiled one at a time. It was frankly a poorly structured interview question, since you don't have the full picture of what you're trying to build and instead build one piece at a time based on the prompt given. I've had interviews and excellent candidate experiences at companies that treat the interviews like a collaboration session. Interviews here felt like a test. Ultimately, this company's interviewing process has a ton of rough edges and I think it says a lot for the organization. I'm not too disappointed.

Spoke with a recruiter over via LinkedIn and then over the phone. We discussed open positions, relevant experience, and the fact that there was currently an offer out for the position I was best qualified for. Despite that, we decided she would speak with the hiring manager and get back to me if the offer was accepted. All I got after that was the automated email they use when you fail an interview, with no further explanation. It came across as very unprofessional.
