Fathom Interview Questions

15 HR Call 90 minutes HackerRank 60 minute coding 3 hour on-site 20 minutes with CEO talk 1 hour tech talk with CTO Really stupid solved leetcode hard and still didn’t pass

Total 10 rounds of interviews. Started with a hackerrank test with 3 questions followed by recruiter call where they mention that job is going to be 10-7 and mentioning the offer one can expect. Prescreening coding round followed by 4 onsite interviews with 2 coding rounds and 2 system design rounds. Finally you have a presentation with engineers from the team and behavioral rounds with CEO and CTO. Long drawn out process, trying to be over selective as they do not need many engineers. No guarantee of offer even after clearing all the rounds.

The company reached out on Wellfound. On the recruiter call, the recruiter consistently asked me to name my exact compensation within a $20K range, pretty unusual for an intro recruiter call. Code screen was a pretty normal/positive experience. Process described: - Hackerrank test, 3 coding questions, 1.5 hours - Live Code Screen, 1 question, 45 min - 3-4 hours of coding and design sessions - 15 min presentation on tech topic, w/ 15 min q&a - 30 min w/ CTO and 30 min with CEO Total process of 2-4 weeks.

went through the intensive interview process at FATHOM, which included: - 1 Hackrrank - 1 Recruiter call - 1 Phone Screen - 4 onsite rounds - 1 Tech Talk (A presentation with a topic of my choice) - 1 round with CEO and 1 round with CTO After doing well on all of these rounds, I got a call where the CEO gave me an offer. The recruiter had mentioned that their typical work day is 10-7 PM and there there would be some form of on-call for a few hours every other Saturday. Also, there was no bonus aside from the total compensation. So, I asked for a base compensation that was 8% higher than what they offered me. A day later, they called and said it was the founders decision to rescind my offer. I understand that not all negotiations work out it is outrageous that they are not even willing to talk about it. This is a tough market and , needless to say, this news felt like a gut punch, especially because I gave three weeks of my life to this process, and excelled at every round. To pull an offer from a candidate you thought was a good fit for the company just because they asked about negotiation is entirely inappropriate. The whole experience took a huge toll on my lot of mental health. So just know what what you are getting into.

Pre-screen included 3 hacker rank questions. Then, I had 2 leetcode rounds. The first round was one medium question. The interviewer was really helpful in guiding me through the problem. Second onsite round - 2 medium-hard questions. I didn't pass that round.

10 sessions. Recruiter screening, home coding, live coding, 2 desgin sessions. What I did not have: additional 2 coding sessions, tech talk, and a chat eith the CEO and CTO.

I think it's this FATHOM. Didn't apply on LinkedIn, can't remember where. Email didn't include job description. HackerRank, 1 leetcode easy to medium, 1 leetcode medium to hard, 1 http get. 90 minutes.

Had a phone screen with a recruiter first, who was very friendly and helpful. She gave me a brief overview of the company, as well as the interview process. After that, I had a 1hr technical interview with a senior ML engineer, asking some LeetCode medium-hard questions. I didn't do well there and got a rejection letter a few days later.

1. Hackerrank 3 Coding Questions 2. Recruiter Call - Mainly gauge on why you want to join the company and if your fine with working long hours (understandable as its a startup in growth stage) 3. Live Coding Round - Focusing on clearing communication and working code. 4. 1st Day Onsite - 2 coding rounds were conducted similar to (3) and one design round. 5. Feedback from recruiter stating reason for rejection. Positives: Coding rounds were well conducted and were leetcode medium level. Based on feedback from recruiter, had cleared all rounds successfully with clear communication and readable code. Negatives: Very poorly conducted design round with no clear indications as what they wanted to test. Based on feedback received from recruiter, just basis a 30 min single design round, they found me shortcoming. Disheartening to see that after spending over six-seven hours of interview time with them, they make short sighted decisions. Advice: Rather than conducting leetcode style questions invest in making a decently difficult take home test which will test candidates true capabilities. Be clear as to what you desire in design rounds and if that is your primary criteria, conduct multiple rounds on that rather than make ignorant decisions based on a single round.

The interview process was: - Phone screen - Coding interview - Two days of a virtual on-site: - First day was 3 coding interviews - Next day was a "tech talk" and chat with the founders
