      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Castor in Sep 2019

      Interview

      Two nice video calls with them. First one with the recruiter, second one with an Engineer. They told me that the next step would be an assessment with a review stage to discuss the solution with the team. Then I received the code assessment almost a week later, in which I had to create a small single page app. After creating the app, that took me around 4/5 hours of my weekend, I send it over to them, and they rejected it with a short email with 4 positive reasons (the resulting working app!! the component docs, my personal interviews and CV) and 4 negative reasons that were almost like comments in a pull request (use the wrong tag in just one place, using different abstractions that they usually do, using inline styles in a few places, and short technical docs). The problem for me is that they weren't interested in hearing my reasons or discussing a bit about it... they just finished the process. I think I'm not a good fit tho, as I don't like to work in environments in which you're just told what to do and how to do things without room for discussion. Even tho I enjoyed the assessment... after this feedback I feel I wasted my time in doing an assessment that is later rejected without any interactive feedback... I have so many things to do with my time... I think next time I will demand interactive feedback before using my time.

      Question 1

      They asked me to tell my story, to talk about recent challenges.

      Hello from Castor, Firstly, we would like to thank you for sharing your review. As a growing scale-up we are constantly trying to develop our processes and the only way we can do so is through direct feedback - one of our company values! From what you have shared, we understand your frustration around not being invited to the next stage of the interview process. We are sorry to hear that our communication around this part of the process was not as clear as it could have been, and it is unfortunate that the process has left a negative impact on you. Whilst we appreciate an unsuccessful outcome at interview is never the best news to receive, we truly believe in giving constructive feedback to support the understanding behind our decision making. With this in mind, we also hope the feedback we provided supports you in your future interviewing. It is also unfortunate that you did not get to the stage of experiencing the true working environment of Castor, as you would have been able to get a better picture for our communication style, which is very open, honest and diverse. We are very certain in saying that our working culture does not reflect a ‘do what you're told’ ethos, something we work very hard to ensure. We certainly appreciated your efforts during the process and thoroughly enjoyed meeting with you, even though we weren’t the best match at this time. We wish you the utmost success in your future career and job search. Best wishes, Taru.
