I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Scopio Labs (Tel Aviv-Yafo)
Interview
Weak questions, didn't know what they were talking about. Interviewer turned me off the idea of working there since they didn't have a basic knowledge of the job themselves.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Spoke mostly about herself. There weren't many questions at all.
1. Assignment:
Take-home coding task focused on file transfer in Python with concurrency and progress bars.
2. Submission & Review:
Submitted by email, followed by a 1:1 code review with an engineer. Received detailed feedback.
3. Outcome:
Did not move forward. The process was respectful but emphasized implementation details over problem-solving.
Suggestion:
Consider a short, time-limited exercise with live discussion to better evaluate candidates' thinking and communication skills.
