United StatesPosted Feb 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started by applying online and then got sent a link for a coding challenge on HackerRank.

The challenge had a small set of questions, and after that I also had a recorded/video-style interview where I answered a batch of prompts that mixed behavioral and technical topics. The whole vibe was very “programming plus personality,” and it felt like they were using the recordings to judge how I came across.

What surprised me was how much weight I felt was placed on the video/culture side compared to the coding portion. I remember thinking that the coding looked doable if I was comfortable with the basics, but the interview questions pushed me more toward how I’d talk and explain
