Casper Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took a week. I interviewed at Casper (New York, NY) in May 2018.

Interview

Contacted through Vettery.

First call was with HR. They were friendly and asked questions about my experience, why I was leaving my current job, etc...

I was then set up to speak with an engineering manager. It was not technical. We went over my resume, talked about the company culture, and what sort of things my position would work on. It lasted roughly 45 minutes.

I received a boilerplate rejection a couple days later. I'm not sure what more I could have done given the generic reasoning. Perhaps it was lack of experience, culture fit, or something else but it definitely wasn't because of my technical skills since we never tested it.

Interview

Was contacted through by Casper through Hired. A phone interview was set up a week later but the recruiter ghosted me. Never received a call or email explaining what happened.

Talk about rude.

Interview Questions

Interview

HR seems a little disorganized, but the people I spoke to were very friendly. After my second round phone interview I was told I would be given a coding assignment within the next day or two. After waiting 4 days or so I emailed the recruiter regarding the coding assignment and heard nothing back. After a week and a half I contacted her again and received a reply this time with the coding assignment saying that there was a mix up. This was a couple days before Christmas, and I was asked to have it turned in by Dec. 26. I should have asked to postpone it knowing I wouldn't have much free time over the holiday weekend, but I instead turned in a rushed assignment. Unfortunate, but I learned a valuable lesson.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Casper (New York, NY) in October 2016.

Interview

Fairly straightforward. Personality screen with the recruiter, technical phone screen mostly about my background and current position with an engineer, take-home assignment, and finally an afternoon-long on-site interview. The assignment was specific to their stack which I think is unfortunate as it acts as a background filter more than competence or skill filter.

The people there were friendly and intelligent. It was a pleasant process to go through but I found their focus on their technology stack in the final two stages of the interview to be off-putting.

Interview

Way too many rounds of interviews. I had a phone screen, in person algorithm type interview, take home programming assignment, and then another in person which consisted of making some changes to my programming assignment, and some pair programming. Too many rounds, and HR was extremely slow/disorganized, was a nightmare trying to get in touch every time.

Application

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Casper (New York, NY) in January 2016.

Interview

They have no reception area. I had to email the girl in HR when I arrived to advise I was in the office. Typical start up feel (no dress code, snacks, sleep room, no 401k, games, etc). The position and start up thing is not a right fit for me so I was not upset by the fact I did not get an offer.

Interview

Great interview process. I applied online and heard back from an HR representative after a couple weeks. She worked very quickly towards hiring and was overall very responsive. After an initial phone screening she scheduled an in-person interview with 3 of the members of the team I was interviewing for. When I met them, the interview process was fun, easily and enjoyable. Made me really want to work for the company. I heard back within 24 hours on next steps. They asked me to complete a couple assignments for them. I got the job offer by the end of the week.

Interview

Pretty straightforward two-part interview process. First I spoke on the phone to someone in HR, then had a Google Hangouts interview with two people on the team I was applying for a job with. Overall very informal and pleasant experience, with no trick questions or anything like that.

The process took 3+ weeks. I interviewed at Casper (New York, NY).

Interview

HR contacted me for preliminary interview about 3 days after applying. Very responsive and organized in scheduling interview. Then when it came time to speak with the director of the department, it was rescheduled three times. When I finally spoke with the director, barely apologized for the rigamarole. Questions weren't hard. Told to email with any questions. I did and yet crickets from both contacts. My advice would be to let HR do the first screener and then introduce director for in-person.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Casper (New York, NY) in September 2016.

Interview

Everything at first started off great. Quick and really responsive. They brought me into their beautiful office and said they were interested and would be in touch. I even got a reply from a high-up manager that they would be in touch! Then they just stopped responding to emails...
Q
If someone isn't a good fit, just say it. Perhaps they say that to everyone, but man! It was like going on a super promising date, you get a kiss and then nothing! It was just a disappointing experience.
