I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Handshake (Denver, CO) in Mar 2021
Interview
Three step interview process - phone screen, followed by a pair programming exercise, and finally a virtual “onsite”. The onsite consisted of three parts: coding/app development, system design, and a chat with the hiring manager.
Handshake gives you incredibly useful resources and study guides that will help you succeed in their interviews if you follow them. All of my interviewers were friendly and responsive to any questions I had that came up during the process.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Handshake in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview process was very well-organised and transparent. The recruiter maintained excellent communication throughout and was both professional and responsive. Each person I met was well-prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and had deep knowledge in their respective fields. Overall, the experience was positive and gave me a great impression of the company.
Recruiter call followed by tech screen. Same question others have described. I provided a working solution but was rejected for reasons unknown. No feedback was shared. Not a good experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Handshake in Dec 2024
Interview
Interview Process:
1) OA - easy/med leetcode
2) Technical Phone Interview - Work solo for 1 hour adding requirements of a given take-home assignment for both frontend and backend. Then 1 hour with interviewer to discuss what you have done
3) Hiring Manager Interview - talking about your projects
Overall, a simple process. Although, the hiring manager I talked with seemed to be annoyed and was cold. No pleasant introductions, straight to the point.
