Apollo.io Interview Questions

Waste of time! Stupid interview process. They want you to build production ready app but apparently performance and scalability is not the concern. You should use basic state management to achieve everything. Glad that I got rejected sooner.

It starts with a cultural fit round, once you are through you need to go through couple of coding rounds and couple of system design rounds. Based on the performance recruiter will get back to you with the feedback.

The interview was standard - it had basic JS logic/React questions, debugging and culture, then final offer. Tech recruiters were accommodating and answered questions I had. The process overall took 1 month.

After initial intro session follow up round was set up for 1 hrs each. Overall interviewer was not familiar with distributed system concepts , it became very hard to explain and make him understand some of the things which are very standard otherwise

All the rounds of interview were very challenging and interactive. I enjoyed participating in the discussion and I was very sure I will be hired. I almost gave 4 rounds of interview. But after all this I just get a mail saying that I wasn't selected. No reasons No feedbacks even after asking for one. It was very bad candidate experience overall. After every round I had to do continuous follow ups and the coordinator was very rude in answering my questions. Coming from the same industry I feel this was not acceptable. I hope this improves.

I didn't make it to the interview process. I received a cold email from a supposed VP at Apollo, introducing me to a new role and asking if I'd be interested in applying. I was clearly in a cadence, and the recruiter followed up 2–3 times to get my attention (I hadn't checked this email in a while). Once I saw the thread, I responded with interest. They never responded. I followed up a couple of times — 0 response. I understand that the recruiter team may have not intended to include me in an outreach pool, and made a mistake. But I expect the decency of responding to my replies to let me know that the opportunity had closed. Bad vibes.

5 Rounds: - Motivation & Reflection - 2 Rounds of DSA - medium level difficulty - System Design - both high & low level - Value & Competency - culture fitment

I applied online via a job posting. A recruiter reached out to me to set up a phone screen; the recruiter was pleasant and moved me through to the next round which was a 1x1 interview with the person the role reported into. Less than 5 minutes into the call I could tell that this person wasn't interested in hiring me and this was more of a fact finding mission to better their own processes. I would speak about how I would structure things; what clued me in that I wasn't moving forward was this person said verbatim "I like that idea, I'm going to steal it." I responded with "You wouldn't have to steal it if you hired me." This is what made it clear I wasn't moving forward even though we had been speaking for a handful of minutes. FWIW, I am a female and I feel like that played a part in the decision making since this person's mind was made up so quickly. My ideas and my own thought-through processes are good enough for you to steal from me but not extend an offer to join the team? Don't tell me my experience has merit and is worth duplicating within a company then send an automated rejection. I did not walk away with a good feeling from that interview and it reflects on how I view this company. Several other interviewee's experiences seem in line with my experience.

**THEY GHOST APPLICANTS** I sent in my application and was contacted by the recruiter to send in my availability for the interview. I provided my schedule and do not hear back the next week, so I provide my schedule for the following week and email the recruiter personally to let them know of my interest. I get no response, complete radio silence.

There was a motivation and reflection call set up. They ghosted the application after taking up 1 hr of my time asking stupid questions like what are your weakness and strengths. Then there was barrage of useless questions and a demo by one of the engineer. If you are not considering my application the least you can do is let me know. Very shallow recruiting process.
