I haven't had an interview, this is just about their application process, which is a bit ridiculous. Their questionnaire contains several oversights that need revising. For manual entry, when entering field of study, their list doesn't include computer science, which is wild given the role they are hiring for is for backend engineer. Additionally, when submitting salary expectations they ask for the currency, but you cannot specify it? The overall system really limits your ability to show any meaningful experience outside of jobs like publications, hackathon projects, etc. High expectations for the candidates, but not for the company.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DataRobot
Interview
General interview with in-house recruiter, followed by one technical review and coding challenge, then two more after performing well enough on the first. Overall pleasant, but in-house recruiter was terribly unhelpful and lacked knowledge of his own company. After interviewing for three weeks, absolutely zero feedback in in-house recruiter’s rejection email. I can understand someone cut off just after the preliminary screening, but having gone this deep I would have expected some small amount of feedback.
