The hiring process at MaxMind takes an average of 30 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Site Reliability Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 30 days), whereas Site Reliability Engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 30 days).
The interview process was straightforward and well-structured, allowing me to clearly understand the role and expectations. However, the time taken to move from one round to the next was longer than anticipated, which made the overall process feel somewhat drawn out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle an unhappy or disengaged client?
There was take home assignment for the interview project which takes a few days of work or could also be done in a day if you focus on it solely. What was frustrating is that they don't give you any feedback other than to say they'll not be moving forward with your application even though the task was done successfully. I guess it didn't meet their standards but that's where the feedback plays an important role so candidates can learn from their mistake. Management could've definitely done better.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MaxMind in Apr 2023
Interview
Received an email like many others already put in this review, giving me homework to be done in 2 weeks. Finished the homework in 2 days. Received an answer that the dev team would review the homework in 2 weeks. On the very next day (less than 24 hours), received an email that I'm not a good fit for the role. No mention of why.
