Difficult interview

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at SweetLabs (San Diego, CA) in Aug 2018

Interview

I believe life happens for us, not to us. I had a great interview process. I passed an 8hr test project (was told I did a great job), was invited to an hour phone interview with Blake (awesome guy), passed and was invited to an in-person interview that was 3 hours long with 4 people. It was tough but felt I did well. Unfortunately, I found out a day later I was not a good fit for the position. I appreciate the experience and will grow from it. I'm in the process of growing from this experience, improving not only on my work but myself. Thank you Sweetlabs and good luck!

Easy interview

I interviewed at SweetLabs

Interview

It was a very slow process. They take 2-3 telephonic interviews which are non technical and discuss your previous experience, then call you for 3 face to face rounds which is again non technical and then without taking any technical test, decide that you don't have enough technical experience. Never really understood the process as after 5 non-tech interviews which took around 3 weeks, they decided my tech capabilities won't fit the role. They always had my resume which clearly stated my years of experience. Was disappointed with the interview structure & the reason they gave. At least should have taken a technical round before deciding & ruling me out on that basis.
