      Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 7, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Starburst

      Interview

      The interview process took 3 rounds over 3 weeks. Received positive feedback and a verbal offer. But then the recruiter ghosted me after giving out the offer. Followed up multiple times and never got a reply. Very unprofessional and disrespectful to people who committed efforts to go through the interview process. I would not recommend wasting your time with this company.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 8, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

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

      Interview

      I first met with a recruiter and had an initial 30 minute screen. The interview scheduler sent this meeting request in my time zone. After that, I did a take home coding assignment which didn't have a time limit but was timed. After that, I moved onto the next round which was with a hiring manager. The format, was a product demo, behavioral questions, technical questions, and a coding/ design challenge. Unfortunately for myself, I was late to this meeting as the the interview scheduler sent this meeting time in a different timezone then the first meeting. I didn't move on to the next step which would be the team/panel interview. With that all said, I would suggest any future candidates to pay attention to the timezone because they are inconsistent in each meeting.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Starburst in May 2022

      Interview

      Very long recruitment process, the tech interviewers are not so friendly and interested in hiring candidate. Meetings look like questioning on police station rather than discussion about technology. Being a startup in not always an excuse.
