Pros
Enjoyed meeting the team, seem like a really friendly bunch.
Cons
Lengthy process with several stages and not a lot of feedback given along the way. After completing the task which was a big undertaking, there was no opportunity to walk through it or receive feedback on the output. The final-stage interview lacked clear structure, making it difficult to understand what the panel was trying to assess. The role was split into two shortly after my process concluded, which suggests the scope wasn’t fully defined at the outset.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
As part of the final task, I was asked to source 10 candidates for two roles - which felt less like a skills assessment and more like unpaid recruiting work, especially since I received no feedback on it afterward.
Waste of time. The first stage was a chat with an engineer, and then I was given a take-home test. I had to proactively reach out to get the salary range for this role to see if the test was even worth doing it. After spending a few hours on it, I had a follow-up call with another engineer and was rejected after this round with no feedback given. Completely disrespectful. Don't waste your time on this company.
Behavioural questions including motivation for joining the company based on its stage, the industry and your previous experiences. I gave an outline of my most impactful project and we had a conversation about it.
