Dapper Labs interview questions

1. HR call 2. Take Home Assignment 3. Technical Talk with 2 engineers 4. System Design Interview 5. Values Interview 6. Interview with the hiring manager 7. Logistics call I got a verbal offer from them and they told me I would be getting a written offer very soon. After a week, some new recruiter called me and gave me the verbal offer again and told me to wait for the written offer. A week passed, emailed them to know why I hadn't gotten the offer yet. No reply! After more emails and some time, they told me that they can no longer offer the position without any explanation. Emailed and cc'ed everyone I have had interviews with to understand the reason since the feedback was amazing and they were still hiring. The response I got was absurd. Basically, they thought I would be a good fit for a team but then decided not to hire anyone for that specific team. I did not follow up after that cause I do not care.

I applied and got screened thru a 3rd-party agent who told me about the new roles. The interview process took six weeks, was well-organized, and everyone I met or interacted with was nice and welcoming. I had an initial call with the hiring manager, a technical interview, a take-home Cadence programming assignment, another technical interview with code walkthrough, and a values interview. They were all 1-on-1s except the 2nd technical interview. Every step was a great opportunity to learn more about the role, connect with the interviewers, and get a sense of the team dynamics. The team is really passionate about their work, the company’s mission, and upbeat about new developments in the blockchain industry as a whole. The values interview made it possible to meet an employee from a different team and background—for me, someone who joined Dapper Labs towards the beginning, almost four year ago. He made sure to give me time to ask him questions, and had insightful and honest answers about the startup’s culture and rapid growth. I was informed of the next steps by the coordinator within a day or so after each step. Two interviews were rescheduled, with appropriate notice. After the final round and checks, I was invited for a logistics call dedicated to level, compensation, start date, and vacation. I initially applied to both an intermediate and a senior level role as I wanted to learn more about each level’s expected responsibilities and impact in the company. I got an offer for intermediate. The recruiter insisted that the team recognized it was a close call and hoped I could quickly grow along if I joined, which greatly aligned with my goals. Potential improvement: sending a link to those who work on the Cadence assignments but end up not joining Dapper Labs to claim a small reward for recognizing their time/effort, such as a restaurant gift card or a NBA TopShot Starter Pack.
