      Software Engineer, Backend Interview

      Mar 19, 2019

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at 8am

      Interview

      The interview was to be three parts. The first was a coding challenge. The challenge was easy and short. The second was a verbal interview, mostly theoretical questions with one easy coding question at the end. I did not make it to the third interview, which was also a verbal interview. The verbal interviewer asked an odd amount of QA related questions, despite the position not being a QA one, but besides that the questions seemed simple enoug, and were focused on my experience, the methodologies I used in development, and how I would promote those methodologies.. The one technical question asked was very easy and one that every seasoned applicant has heard many times. A few days after the deadline that AffiniPay set for getting back to me, I was sent an automated email rejecting my application. A bit confusing, as, outside the QA related questions, everything I asked seemed quite simple. No further information was given.

      Backend Software Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at 8am (Austin, TX) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out to schedule an interview so I responded with availability. After no response back after 3 days, I reached back out and they responded with a couple of time slots to choose from. I responded with a selected time slot which was 4 days away. Received no email back or calendar invite confirming the appointment so was surprised when the recruiter called at that time. Met with a recruiter and heard about the team and talked about my background a bit. Was sent a coding assignment that I needed to complete within 24 hours so I went ahead and completed it that evening. The next day I sent a follow-up requesting feedback or next steps. 48 hours later I had not received a response. I decided this wasn't a good fit due to lack of communication by HR so asked to be withdrawn from consideration for the role. I immediately received a response back asking what had happened. An interview process is your first look into how a company operates if it's inefficient and frustrating you'll likely have a similar experience when working there. The recruiter was very nice but either overworked so much that it was hard to communicate efficiently or they simply didn't care.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback on our interview process. We're sorry to hear of the delays you experienced in scheduling your interview. We understand that many of our candidates work with external recruiters before communicating directly with the recruiting team here at AffiniPay, and unfortunately, we have no influence on the responsiveness of these third parties. Additionally, we value the time and energy that candidates spend on our code assessment, so we want to make sure that all members of our team are able to thoroughly review and evaluate this exercise. This is why we establish a 24-48 hour turnaround for feedback up front. We understand that some candidates' timelines are more urgent, and we do our best to take this into consideration while ensuring a thorough review of the assessment.
