I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Degreed
Interview
Phone call with HR to start then 3 separate zoom calls with director, manager, and developers. There is a take home task that the devs will go over and critique that is pretty straight forward. Overall process was quick and easy
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Degreed (New York, NY)
Interview
The initial phone interview with the hiring manager went very well. After this step, I was given a take-home assignment that I completed and submitted after 5 days.
It has been a month now, and I have not received any information or feedback despite following up with the recruiter multiple times. It's extremely frustrating to spend 4+ hours on a project, relearn C#, write an entire test plan, and still get ghosted without even a rejection email. This behavior is very unprofessional and I wouldn't recommend that anyone interviews here if you have a choice.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Degreed (Brisbane)
Interview
HR screen where salary expectations are discussed. Interview with Dev manager. Coding challenge. Technical interview. Interview with CTO.
One to two weeks between each stage. Interviewers all seemed nice and received very positive feedback. But things didn’t go well from there.
Low-ball offer. Offer bumped, but max out far below stated expectations and comparable salaries in USA. Terms were most unbalanced in favour of employer. Some examples 3x Longer notice period. Remote role privacy concerns over trust: Camera recording in own home and location tracking. Reference checks aren’t started until after candidate locks in a short commencement date effectively meaning the candidates must resign from current role to begin notice period when the contract is yet to go unconditional. Expansive restriction of trade conditions - likely fully unenforceable but are cascading. Timezone differences cause delays in getting responses.
