I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Atlas Informatics (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Phone screen followed by on-site interview. On-site, I was given a tour of the office followed by a "cultural fit" interview and finally technical interview. Interviews were conducted in pairs.
I was very impressed with the interview process. I wish more companies would spend more time on determining if a candidate is a good personality/cultural fit.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Atlas Informatics (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2016
Interview
They have a unique process that seems to be tailored to identifying individuals who would be a good fit for their environment, and unfortunately, I wasn't one of those individuals. Even though I didn't get an offer, I enjoyed the overall experience.
The process started with an initial phone conversation with the recruiter. This was mostly about my background and some behavioral questions to assess if I would be a good "culture fit". That went well and I then got invited for a half a day on-site interview. Their office is in a very cool Pioneer Square location.
The day started with a tour of their office. Very nice open floor plan and it felt like a fun company to work for. After the tour, I was given a walkthrough of the agenda for the rest of the day. They caucus after each round and either give a thumbs up or a thumbs down, and you move on to the next round only if you get a thumbs up.
The first group interview was mostly about my experience and background. This was aimed at figuring out whether I would be a good fit culturally. This went fairly well and was given the thumbs up to go on to the next round.
The second group interview was purely technical and although I was able to provide solutions to the problems we discussed, ultimately, there was mismatch between the way I thought about design solutions to problems and the way a startup like ivy approaches these problems. I was given a thumbs down after this round.
If I had been successful in the tech interview, I believe, the next step in the process would have been the "integration day" where I would have had the opportunity to meet the rest of the team and also be involved in pair programming sessions with the engineers.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Atlas Informatics (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2015
Interview
1. Initial short phone conversation with one of the managing principals
2. Half a day of onsite interview comprised of the following:
- Office tour
- Introduction and expectation for the rest of the day
- One behavior interview evaluating my background and culture fit
- One technical interview with whiteboard coding
- Debrief with everyone in the end and was told to come back for 'integration day' - a day to spend with the team!
3. Integration day
- Intro and Q&A with one of the managing principals
- Product demo
- Architecture overview
- Lunch
- Two pair programming sessions with engineers on the team working on real production code
- Open ended design discussion with one of the managing principals
- Everyone that met me so far debriefed on the spot and I was a given an offer in the end
Overall, the process is fantastic, one of the best interview experience I've ever had. Transparent, fast, challenging, engaging and fun! Even if you don't get an offer, you'll walk out feeling humbled, and enriched by the incredible learning experience from some of the best in the industry. Amazing people with huge vision and abilities to execute. We need more companies like Ivy in Seattle.
