      Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 13, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Human Interest (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      (1) 30min recruiter screen (1) 45min hiring manager interview (1) 3rd virtual onsite finished with15min recruiter chat Overall the experience was professional. Hiring manager was refreshing to speak with. Technical rounds focused on building the front page of hacker news in React as fast as possible in 60min which was tough, but the interviewer was really considerate and overall it was enjoyable. The backend round focused on manipulating SQL in a Node.js environment 3-4 prompts that built on each other--this was pretty difficult and the interviewer was fairly difficult to work with, though considerate. There was also a 30min interview with a product manager which was enjoyable. The recruiter said they would get back to me within two days, specifying EOD on the second at the latest. Never received a response though.

      Question 1

      Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your interview feedback. I want to apologize that you did not receive a response by EOD on the second day as promised. We strive to reply and provide feedback to everyone, and it sounds like this slipped through the cracks. If at this time you still have not heard from a recruiter please feel free to email me directly at debbie@humaninterest.com. I will follow up and ensure you get an update. Best of luck with your search. Debbie, VP of People

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Human Interest in Dec 2023

      Interview

      Very disappointing. Talking with the recruiter was a very friendly and positive experience. The technical interviewer however, was incredibly rude. Never had I experienced such an attitude in my 10 years in the IT field. She asked me many questions that were all over the place. Inconsistent and not related to what I had explained about my projects. I tried to answer them as best as I could, And she even cut me off half way through explaining to jump to another question! And even made remarks "I know that already, tell me about...", I understand these tech recruiters ask many different questions, I have been doing this for a long time. But she was just PLAIN RUDE. I hope the HR see's all these negative reviews about their employees and does something about this!

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Human Interest

      Interview

      The recruiter reached out to me a week after I put in the application to schedule a 15 minute screening call. I put in a time that was supposed to be treated as a confirmed interview, but the recruiter never called. I reached out again to see if they had accidentally missed the meeting, but I was ghosted. Very unprofessional.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Human Interest

      Interview

      This is the only time I've had someone tell me I'm over engineering a solution while simultaneously telling me I'm not considering scaling into the future. Another startup with seemingly ok pay that thinks they are the next unicorn with 5+ separate interviews and interviewers with convoluted interview questions. I would have preferred leet code to actually demonstrate my coding skills or infrastructure challenge instead of arbitrary coding gotchas. Wouldn't recommend anyone go through this slow process although I appreciate the recruiter giving feedback after the process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Was given an incredible convoluted financial application example and told to build the architecture behind it.
