Pay.com.au interview questions

First round was an HR phone screen, where they asked some general questions, such as why I was interested in the role and what I knew about the company. I was then invited to a second-round technical interview, which was a pair programming session with two interviewers. At the beginning, they provided one of their internal projects and asked me to clone it from GitHub and run it locally(By using Docker). The project contained several bugs, and I was expected to identify and fix them. The issues involved SQL queries, frontend UI, and backend business logic. The session was scheduled for one hour, but it ended up taking around 90 minutes. But I didn’t receive an offer. The feedback was quite general — they mentioned they had found a more suitable candidate. The entire process took about three weeks.

The process involved a screening call, followed by a first interview (usual career to date, future ambitions, how I 'do' product etc). Take home case study tested strategy development, identification of initiatives, working with devs and design, testing hypotheses and go to market. I also interviewed with the Design team, presumably to get a different point of view of my compatibility with existing team members, All appeared well until I was asked to come to their office to meet team members in person. Lining up schedules seemed challenging given overlapping planning activities or offsites. After proposing some more times, communication went silent. Followed up, but didn't hear back. Finally, after one and half weeks, heard that they had decided to go with another candidate, the recruitment process seemingly fast-tracked during the period they went silent with me. Overall, the process for me took approximately 6 weeks from start to finish.
