I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Relativity
Interview
I applied online through a job board.
My initial conversation was just a phone screen. The person who screened me expressed small concern that my last position was not in a place working with Test Driven Development but stressed that it shouldn't be an issue. They then had me do an online coding test after which he sent my information out to team leads to see who was interested as they had many positions to fill.
I then had an interview with a senior software engineer from a development team who came into the interview with no knowledge of me whatsoever. He told me that he was reading my resume as we went and had not seen it before. The coding test never came up and we never talked about any problem solving. He simply asked me about my most recent company and pretty much shut down when I told him it did not do TDD. He then told the internal recruiter with whom I had the initial phone screen to not put me up to any other teams because of this. In all it was a big waste of my time for something that should have been taken care of in the phone screen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Determine the degrees of separation various cities are from Chicago by shared interstates
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Relativity (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2021
Interview
Firstly, my case is very unique where the Hiring manager found my profile in LinkedIn and reached out to me saying he was impressed with my profile and he wants to know if I am interested in learning new opportunities at Relativity. I thought that it is a genuine requirement and said yes and provided my resume to him. The next the HR called me and scheduled telephonic round and it lasted 15 mins and no technical questions asked. Then, they promoted me to Hiring manager (Same person who reached in LinkedIn ) round which sounds much better than the previous one and it lasted one hour and not too much technical. After 10 days they came back saying that they were impressed with my background However, we would like to move forward with other candidates.
Please don't waste your valuable for this company.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Relativity in Apr 2017
Interview
First was filling out questionaire. Then two hanker rank questions. The questions are about processing data, then calculate degree from city. Then phone interview. I didn't do well in the phone interview. Mostly because I was hungry and tired and I did it in my car. The interviewer was very polite to answer a question although he wanted to end the interview. Although I think it takes way too much effort to get to a phone interview. And it's better to see the job description first before starting the whole process.
