Tamara interview questions

It is a remote job. They follow a hiring day concept and all the interview rounds are taken in a single day. There will be 3 back to back rounds with breaks of 15 minutes after each round. 4th round will be decided on the feedback of the previous rounds. R1: Machine coding round in which AI usage is allowed. Overall the round is good but I feel they expect too much in just 60 minutes even with AI. It seemed that a near-complete implementation was expected, leaving limited room to discuss engineering trade-offs, architecture decisions, just evaluating speed. A bare bone app will be given in which a feature needs to be implemented. R2: Tech round - Flutter and mobile specific questions related to architecture, security, flutter deep dive etc. R3: Tech round - Flutter and mobile advanced round - While the round was good A more open-ended evaluation of different valid approaches could make the experience feel more collaborative and allow candidates to better showcase their thought process. Overall, the interviewers were professional, and the process was technically rigorous. HR was also prompt.

They reached out to me on LinkedIn, explained the role well and things moved really fast. Had 4 rounds over a few weeks but honestly all the rounds felt very similar, it was the same questions being asked again and again with no clear progression. Calls were 45 mins to an hour but felt disorganized, no clear agenda and it wasn't always clear what they were looking for. When I asked what to expect before each round, the answer was always just "it's about your past experience," but then it would turn into a case study with no heads up. And after all rounds, complete silence. Nothing. No rejection email, no update, no response to my follow up emails. It's been almost 2 months and I still have no idea what happened. The most frustrating part is that after 4 rounds, multiple follow ups, and weeks of waiting, there wasn't even a rejection email. That's the bare minimum. Really disappointing from a company that presents itself so professionally during the process. If you're going to put candidates through a lengthy process, at least have the decency to close the loop. Candidates are also evaluating you as a company, and this experience says a lot about your culture. Pros: Fast initial process, interviewers were friendly Cons: Unstructured interviews, repetitive rounds, no clarity on what each round was testing, zero communication after the final round
