Perguntas de entrevista da empresa SoundCommerce

Scheduling was easy. No issues there. My interview started with "Why do you want to work here? ". I never said I wanted to! I am here to interview you just like you!! My interviewer's skills were only limited to technologies he had worked with. Any tools/technologies I worked with were foreign to him and he kept asking me if they were similar to the tools he knew. That's a red flag to me because that means my interviewer has very low understanding of CS fundamentals. Then I was given around 30 minutes to solve a technical challenge in one of the most archaic online code editor I have seen in my life. The interviewer expected me to be a code monkey and product output as if there's no tomorrow. He did not really want me to think and solve the challenge but just produce output. Another red flag to me so sorry I do NOT want to work here

Started with a screening though Google Meet. Pretty thorough for a screening, touched on my experience, what I knew about SoundCommerce and why I was interested in this position. Over the next month, I interviewed with two executive team members and one technical team member before meeting with HR and then finally interviewing with the CEO. I meet with HR again after that interview and formally received an offer. The interview questions are really just trying to gauge where your skills are functionally and technically, as well as your fit for the company, all equally important. This is a startup so wearing multiple hats and even building processes may be required. If you need absolute structure, this might be a difficult company for you at this point. Everyone I met were smart great people and really believed in the company's mission AND the CEO. No IQ test are required, which I only mention because I had other startup companies require cognitive aptitude test. Although I passed these tests, they setup for a poor interviewing experience and that may speak to the company's culture as a whole. Luckily SoundCommerce has not chosen this route and instead preferred normal human to human interaction.
