An external recruiter reached out to me to tell me about the opportunity. They asked me to send them my resume and they forwarded it to the company. After a couple days, someone from Procore contacted me and asked me to give them my availability for a call with someone from HR. The call was to figure out if I was a good candidate for the position, what were my goals, etc., no coding or tech questions involved. That very same day I got an email from their candidate experience coordinator asking me to give them availability for another phone call with their engineering manager. This second call had a couple high level tech questions but still no programming involved. He seemed really friendly and eager to know more about me. That very same day I got an email from them asking me for my availability for a code pairing session. The engineer who interviewed me was really friendly and helping. It involved a round of about 10 small problems to solve using a platform with unit tests. These were fairly easy for anyone with beginner-intermediate programming skills. That very day I got an email from them saying that they wanted to move forward with the interview and schedule an onsite interview at their offices. This was a 5 hour interview (including an hour lunch), it started with a panel were I could introduce myself to everyone who was going to interview me that day. After that I had a code pairing session with an engineer, it felt like we were working on it and not just me. They asked me to build an interpreter like React's JSX, although I wasn't able to finish it, a good foundation was coded to finish the entire thing. Then an hour lunch where I got to see how everyone worked and how good the atmosphere there really is. The next hour was an interview with a senior software engineer where they asked me to architect/design a board game. Even though I had never played said board game, this part was a fairly simple part of the process involving a white board to outline how the game would be designed. The next hour I had a talk with a product manager where we focused on previous projects I had worked on and the reasons why I thought they had been successful or not. Finally I had an interview with the engineering manager where we discussed the interview process and next steps. Procore Technologies is an amazing company that really values culture and people. Even though I thought I had done pretty well in the interviews they decided to go with someone else. I would apply again for a similar position in the future. PS: It is important to mention that the process started on June 20th and they gave me the final answer on August 6th.

As another review said, it was very well-managed. Very polished HR contact, lots of good preparation. The interview questions were pretty normal head-scratchers, but in my opinion Procore's was slightly less miserable than usual. That is because they had a test suite they wanted you to get passing. Normally, in my experience, these questions are just open-ended and there's no way to know you're getting it right. Having the test suite ready was helpful. The first interview was a technical phone screen doing the head-scratchers with tests. Passed that, invited in to the office for a 4-hour in-person interview battery. The itinerary for this interview is included in the prep packet their HR people provide. (It's really nicely done!) The first session of the interview battery is a meet & greet. Second session was a culture interview. Third a database schema design question. Fourth, a pair-programming activity that was, as far as I could tell, a repeat of the same head-scratchers-with-tests interview from my phone screen. Finally, a conversation with an engineering director. I was disappointed I never really got asked any in-depth questions about designing/building front-end applications, even though I was interviewing for a front-end development position. The only white-boarding was the schema-design question above. I'm a little jealous of the other person who got asked to white board a React/Redux application. Anyway I am disappointed with the outcome of the interview but I have no complaints about the process. It's clear Procore takes their recruiting pipeline very seriously, as they should.
