30 min Interview with the Siepe recruiter Then 60 min interview with the hiring manager/director Then 1.5 hour take-home HackerRank questions Then you are SUPPOSED to hear back from them and if successful, meet the team, CEO, and CTO, but I was completely GHOSTED. Even after multiple follow up emails, the recruiter, who I know had read the email, NEVER responded.

The interview process began with a brief phone screening, followed by a technical coding assessment, and finally an in-person interview going over experience and behavioral questions. The technical assessment was fair and moderately easy, mostly Leetcode-style questions. The other developers I met during the interview process seemed very nice, knowledgeable, and professional. However, throughout the process I asked multiple times to clarify about their hybrid work schedule, and I got a different answer each time, which raised a huge red flag. After the final interview, I was informed I did very well on the technical assessment and overall behavioral questions, but I was rejected for not wanting to come in-office full time (for a role that was advertised repeatedly as hybrid). This suggests either incompetent or dishonest communication from upper management. Overall, this company's interview process was a waste of my time. Clear expectations about the role should be established well before the final interview, and a candidate should not get different answers about the role depending on who they ask.
