Austin, TXPosted Aug 2018 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process was repeatedly derailed by communication and timing issues more than by the technical work.

After an initial phone conversation, it took a long time to schedule the next round—almost weeks—with little in the way of updates or guidance. I had to follow up myself, and the recruiter’s responses came much later than expected.

When I finally got into the technical round, the setup felt messy. I was handed a Java application to debug even though I’d been developing in JavaScript, and the whole thing ran longer than planned. There was also a disconnect with the interviewer, and I felt like I wasn’t getting the standard level of structure I expected from an engineering interview.
