J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Skillz en août 2019
Entretien
Applied online and contacted by technical recruiter. Initial screen and assessment was straightforward and positive. Asked about my experience/interests and if I could take an online coding challenge. Coding challenge consisted of some debugging questions involving multi threading.
Received an invite for onsite and told to prepare for a system design question. Show up to the on-site and get asked about what technologies I know for about 45 min by two recruiters who seemed rather uninterested. No coding/white boarding challenge. Then spoke via Skype with another HR person about culture. Then met with Manager and spoke about culture. Received automated rejection email a day later. Seemed reasonable since they didn’t actually assess my ability to problem solve. I guess it’s more important that an engineer knows mongoDB. Most likely bad timing for the company.
Very basic questions, but too many interview rounds (cannot recount how many...cut them short as it was so long, found something else). Mandatory RTO. Be aware of the toxic culture (can be felt within the process and awkward silence when asked about it).
Advice: Read review on Glassdoor before even wasting your time applying.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Basic code base question (more "out of university" basic question), more experimented dev might need to polish on old design system and naming for the interview.

During one of the calls, I asked for a salary range but wasn't given one. That came off as strange to me as it felt like it was purposely being hidden.
For the coding part, it was multiple different files, each a different question, containing "bad code" or incomplete code that had to be fixed.
