I applied online. I interviewed at ApplyBoard in Mar 2021
Interview
The interview process was definitely an interesting one, as pretty much every interaction with them involved some sort of mistake or misstep on their end.
I first had a chat with a recruiter, who somehow wasn't able to locate my resume (?). I was then contacted by another person who asked what my availability was for a technical interview the following week. I specifically stated that any day was good *except* for Tuesday and Thursday, and guess what landed in my inbox... a meeting invite for Tuesday.
The technical interview was fine, except that I'm not comfortable with pair programming, particularly in such a stressful environment such as an online interview. The interviewer was a young developer who seemed (to me anyway) particularly stressed out. I knew I didn't do all that well, but he was empathetic and nice enough.
I received an email shortly thereafter from the original recruiter, who informed me that I was actually interviewed for the wrong role... was originally considering a FE role and not FS. He wanted to know if I wanted to be "retested"?
I agreed to that and not surprisingly, never heard back. I'm assuming this is a good reflection of how the company is disorganized in general.

The interview process consists of five rounds, each designed to evaluate various skills and qualifications. It starts with initial screenings, followed by technical assessments, and behavioral interviews. The final round is with the manager, who assesses overall fit within the team and company culture. This comprehensive process ensures that the best candidate is selected for the position.
Easy and straightforward. The interviewer didn't ask any algo questions just real world questions that relate to the job. It was a enjoyable process. No pressure just straight to the point.
