I applied through other source. I interviewed at Originate (New York, NY) in Aug 2018
Interview
This was a nice place to interview, the process moved quickly and the questions felt like fair prompts for discussion. I was pleased not to need to do on-the-spot white boarding or go through surprise trivia questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We walked through a piece of involved OSS work together.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Originate (Las Vegas, NV) in Dec 2016
Interview
Had an easy coding challenge, then had two onsite interviews, one with the team and another with the CEO. All went well, was given a verbal offer and was told I was going to get a written offer. Was asked for the offers from my other companies and when I told them they needed to make me a written offer first then we can discuss my other offers they told me they would not be making a written offer. They also refused to reimburse me for travel expenses, namely uber/lyft rides. They aren't serious about making offers, not even worth applying here just for the offer since you won't get it.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Originate (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Pretty unprofessional, negative experience overall. first, they don't have a career page, you need to email the HR.
Second, their webpage is not informative and concise at all. e.g. there's a page that lists 159 things the originate "cares" about. Who ever wrote this needs to revise it, who is going to read through 159 bullet points?
Received a response from HR, then received a coding question. Questions were easy, but rather arbitrary. I don't think they put in effort to make these questions effective.
Then, an interview was scheduled, they needed to reschedule the interview.
Waited for 15min for the interviewer Alex to show up, never did.
