I applied for backend Software Engineering position. I had a phone call with a recruiter who asked basic questions on my profile and work. After couple of days, I was provided with a java coding assignment which I had to complete in 3 days. I worked on the exercise for about 3 hours and made sure I answered with as much details as I can and replied back to the recruiter with the completed assignment in given time. About a week passed and I sent another message to the recruiter requesting for update. He mentioned I will hear back soon. But since then, 2 more weeks have passed and never heard back anything. Even if it was a reject from the team, they should atleast let their candidates know about it since they take time and effort to complete your assignments. I think of this as a very careless attitude and doesn't portray good cultural values of the company.

A recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn and explained a little bit about Trulia and what their mission statement was. Shortly after, I had a phone screen with the manager. He asked very relevant questions about modern technologies that are used on a day-to-day basis in a full-stack role. After the phone interview, I went in person to the office. It took roughly 4 to 5 hours, but all of the interviewers were prompt and communicative. Overall I had an amazing interview experience and hope that more companies interview candidates as Trulia does.
