I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
The process was enjoyable. The majority of the interviewers were cordial. Some were even funny.
One recommendation: share the agenda. Interviewers names and respective time slots would have been helpful. Each interviewer seemed to know how much time we had; I did not.
The tech challenges were the type of programming challenges that you might find on codewars or hackerrank. It is not a terrible approach for determining whether a candidate can do the work, nor is it very different from the majority of interviews elsewhere. I enjoy quizzes, but there must be a more efficient way to determine if a candidate has the needed skill set.
I was not offended nor disappointed about their decision to not pursue my candidacy further. Justworks seems like a great company with some really talented individuals. The business/industry, however, seems as if it could get rather dry.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical questions like: Tell us about yourself and your current role. Questions about process; how you approach projects, agile, etc.
Each panel had tech questions.
1. Coding challenge on the computer with object oriented javascript.
2. White board / pseudo code a game.
3. White board / pseudo code a program determines if a data range is saturated by an array argument of date ranges.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY)
Interview
They were accommodating in schedule. The phone technical interview was very straight-forward. The 3 part, in-person interview felt rushed and like the interviewers already had another candidate in mind. We were not a correct fit (actually looking for full-stack minded developers.)
