Exabeam interview questions

The experience was very disappointing and thoroughly unprofessional. I am completely okay with constructive feed back or even a rejection as long as the company or its employee's carry themselves in a respectful and ethical manner. The call began with their manager calling an hour prior to the scheduled time. Which was a bit of a surprise but not that big of a concern. The call dropped multiple times and I think the hiring manager who was conducting the interview had a hard stop of 1 hr. After wasting a good 10-15 mins in call failures, we finally connected over phone and he gave me a brief intro of the work that Exabeam does and what his role and tech stack is. He then asked my to speak about myself and the work that I do. Once done with the intros we had around 30 mins remaining out of which last 5-10mins of the interview were supposed to be for me to ask questions. He gave me a problem to solve on coderpad (or equivalent) and I successfully solved the problem in the most optimized way in 15 mins. He asked me to execute my code, which I did and it printed the correct answer. This is when the interview took a turn for the worse. The manager seemed puzzled and borderline annoyed at the outcome and instantly gave me another problem to work on. At this point there were only 10 mins remaining and he had a non-negotiable hard stop in about 10 mins. As I tried to solve the question the vibe that I felt from the manager was of rushing me to solve the new problem. He was basically keeping a countdown timer of how much time I had remaining and kept on saying as much. I stayed professional and tried to work on the solution but had already made my mind up about not pursuing an opportunity to work with such a person. The interview ended around the time he had to leave with no opportunity afforded to me to ask any questions. Overall, it was a very unprofessional and negative experience. It would be beneficial to treat future employees with dignity as an interview is bi-directional and gives a good look into the potential future employer and work culture.

External recruiter reached for initial screen, followed by interviews with hiring manager, multiple team members, and multiple stakeholders. Whilst there were a lot of calls, I prefer this approach as you get to really get a feel for the place and the people you’ll work with.
