I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SoundCloud

Interview

Was selected for the introduction call. Gave my availability but had no answer back for a week. After a week I sent them an email and they replied confirming a slot for me with their HR. I joined the meeting on the date/time of the interview, but nobody was in the call. I was literally ghosted

I applied online. I interviewed at SoundCloud (Berlin)

Interview

First interview is with an HR person, to get the general overview of the position and environment. The next stage is the coding challenge with 2 engineers who were nice, helpful and pleasant to talk to. The task wasn't too difficult and there is enough time to solve, at least parts of it

Phone screen. Promised to send follow up practical test as the next step in the application. Never did, despite my follow up. If not advancing candidates to the next round at least be honest about it?

Interview

I met with a recruiter and a panel of 3 current employees during my interview process. It was a fairly concise and streamlined experience. I enjoyed meeting with 3 personalities/perspectives from the company. It's a great way to give both parties an understanding of what they're going into.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SoundCloud in Jan 2023

Interview

Far too many steps, but some of them can be bundled together into one day. - Recruiter - Home assignment - System design - Bar raiser - Product - Hiring manager It was hard to understand the future role from the job description – very inconsistent postings across the careers page. Eventually, out of three roles, it turned out that I've applied to team that was looking for a mid-to-senior candidate. The recruiter was kind enough to tell me that I'm overqualified in the call, so I wasn't surprised when I got the rejection. The recruiter call in its turn was cold and uninviting. They didn't have the camera on, didn't tell anything about the role or the process until I was done telling my story. I've made it clear that even though I might be overqualified for this particular team, I'd appreciate if I could be redirected to a different funnel, but I didn't hear back afterwards – only received a rejection email from a noreply address.

Interview

I applied online & met with a recruiter shortly thereafter. I met with the manager and team over the weeks following. It was a solid process and I enjoyed meeting with everyone. Within a few hours of getting an hour, it was paused ‘as they reviewed internally’. I was told I’d get an update shortly after only to be ghosted by the company.

Software Engineer

I did my initial interview with a “better established” startup and they said the interview process is 5 interviews. 3 technical then 1 interview with the CEO then another technical interview. Idk about you but that seems like a lot of interviews and they said they want to do it as fast as possible in a short time span. Is this a normal amount of interviews? Is this a red flag? For a full stack software position 4-5 years exp how much salary should be the norm in a hcol area?

Is it unprofessional to attend a Zoom interview from within your car? I am currently employed and just landed an interview for tomorrow. It is a virtual interview over Zoom. Should I try to find somewhere besides my car for the interview? I don't know that I could but wanted to get yalls thoughts on this.
