I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Tempest Tech (Warrenville, IL) in Feb 2023
Interview
Took over a month of several calls and a task to complete. At the end they decided not to hire at all and eliminated position. Wasted time. Encouraged to apply to other positions which I did but they declined again. The task was confusing as HR asked to write a monetization plan for B2C and mention completely different company. But the hiring manager pointed out that it was supposed for b2b and didn’t explain how Tempest is related to this other company mentioned in the task.

How can you improve our partnership management approach?
Initial recruiter screening followed by a technical chat then a live coding interview. No one from the company reached out after finishing the task to let me know if I passed the interview or not.

Interview
There are 4 interview rounds: - First round is an introductory call to get to know each other better. The hiring manager introduced the position, the company, and the interview process. - Second round is live coding. I was given 2 algorithm questions within 60 mins. LeetCode easy to medium level. The interviewers cared about your way of thinking and understanding of time and space complexities. - Third round is technical domain knowledge. Questions include software engineering principles, architecture, testing, Swift language, and iOS knowledge. - Last round is culture fit. I met two product managers from the team. They asked me some behavior questions and my past experience. In every round, they left enough time for me to ask questions and all the interviewers were open to sharing. The whole process was really quick but I didn’t feel stressed. The hiring manager followed up through the entire interview process, always giving me the direction to prepare for as well as feedback from the team. I think it’s a great interview experience.
