      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at 8am in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Had a good call with the recruiter who was clear about the role and expectations. Then I took the technical screening where there was two problems in two hours. I finished, successfully completing both problems with highly clean code. Waited a week and received a rejection email from a no reply email. No feedback, no justification, nothing. Companies like 8am that reject candidates who meet their requirements and successfully complete their screenings, yet don’t even give a chance to interview are the biggest problem in the tech world. Thanks for contributing to the problem 8am.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at 8am (Austin, TX) in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Experienced the same process as the review posted on 2/12 - had an initial conversation with the recruiter, compensation/process expectations were set, and a technical screen was immediately sent out. I completed the coderbyte and submitted within a few days. Received a follow-up late the next week that my submission was being reviewed as I completed it in Javascript and not Ruby. I received a canned rejection email the following week without even getting a chance to speak with a hiring manager. Save yourself the trouble - the same interview questions are used for all candidates, and we are treated identically. Maybe revamp the process and initiate a technical screen after speaking with a manager to value your applicant's time more in the future.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 22, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Austin, TX
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

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

      Interview

      A bit light technically the first day and an appropriate amount the second day. The second day seemed a bit long. Maybe the take home coding question code have been used a bit more during the interview. Possible a technical review or presentation of the solution.

      How to prevent someone from injecting a rogue transaction in the system.
