I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PriceLabs in Apr 2025
Interview
I applied through Instahyre and got a call from HR, and discussed the job role and basic details. It was a remote opportunity. After the call, she briefed on the interview format and scheduled the interviews one by one. This company's process is a bit slow, so patience is key, and you will most likely hear back.
Interview Process
1. Assignment (20 mins): This assignment helps us understand your math and logic. Since our product is data-heavy, we need to get a sense of your comfort levels.
2. Recruiter call (30 mins): This will be an initial discussion to learn about your background in detail, interests and share about the role. Based on this discussion, we'll move forward with the next step.
3. Technical Discussion (45 mins): This conversation will be scheduled with someone from the Engineering team. During this round, the focus will be on your technical skills, data structures and algorithms.
4. Assignment (3-4 hours): As a part of the next stage of the process, you would be working on a take-home assignment. It won't take you more than 4 hours to complete it, but we will give you about 3 days to work on it. We will reach out to you before scheduling this round.
5. Technical Discussion (2 hours): If you opt for a take-home assignment, we will set up about 2 hours with the team to discuss the assignment with you. Through this discussion, you will get to interact with and know the team, and it will help us understand your thought process and approach
6. Culture fit (30 mins): You'll meet with our founding team. They'd want to understand what drives you. This is also a good opportunity to get the inside scoop on PriceLabs.
7. Reference check and offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Round 1 - Prescreening assignment (20 mins)
Gave a pseudocode and asked me to explain what the code does in 2-3 lines, and print its output
Round 2 - Recruiter call (30 mins)
An initial discussion to discuss about background and interests in detail, and a couple of behavioural questions. Also gave a high-level overview of Pricelabs products. She also mentioned the tech stack was Ruby on Rails (Python) backend and ReactJS on the frontend, and whether I was comfortable working in them. It was a good discussion.
Round 3 - Technical Discussion (45 mins)
This round was scheduled with someone from the engineering team. The first 10-15 minutes were basically to get to know each other, and for the next 30-35 minutes, the focus was on 2 DSA problems, 1 easy and 1 medium.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your candid feedback regarding your recent interview experience with PriceLabs. We appreciate the time and effort you invested throughout our hiring process.
We understand our processes can be lengthy. It is because we want to ensure that we are certain of an individual when they join the team and vice versa.
We aren't a hire-and-fire company, and hence the lengthy processes.
We strive to provide a transparent and respectful experience for all candidates. As part of the process, we ensure that we send you a note letting you know that we aren't moving forward. It becomes challenging for us to provide detailed feedback to each individual since we are a lean team.
Please feel free to reply to this email for any further queries/or concerns. We will be happy to get back to you.
Thank you again for your time and input. We genuinely appreciate it.
All the best!
Regards,
The Talent Team
