Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discovery, Inc. (New York, NY) in June 2019.

Interview

I was contacted by a recruiter(Coda Search) who was working to fill the role with Discovery. I initially spoke with a lead engineer over the phone about the role and my experience. After that I was given a take home assignment which I completed within 2-3 hours and sent back in. I then was invited to an onsite where I interviewed with 4 different people. Following the interview I was told the feedback was positive but I never heard back from the recruiter or anyone from Discovery again. Very unprofessional and I would not recommend anyone consider working with either Coda Search or Discovery.

I applied online through their careers page and was contacted a few weeks later for a video interview.
