I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sezzle in Aug 2020
Interview
Recruiter reached out with the bunch of questions on email. After answering them I got a programming assignment. After some back and forth they rejected. Interview process was mostly a waste of time and effort because
1) Recruiter took unsually lot of time to answer any questions. This whole process took 1 month, yeah thats right. I only received replies from this person only on Friday nights. Ideally they could have wrapped it in couple of days.
2) I didn't get any feedback from the assignment I submitted, they just told me "as your performance did not match our expectation" , come on seriously? thats all you gotta say after wasting so much time?

Interview
The process started with an online Wonderlic test followed by a three step Codility challenge. The tasks involved basic Express endpoints, a React debouncer, and a mid-level SQL query. An AI assistant was available for questions, making the challenge manageable. Results were provided immediately, and I scored 100%.
The interviewer mostly reading questions while an AI monitored responses, which made the interaction feel less personal.
I later received a rejection email without feedback.
The entire process is as exactly how they say it is there were no surprises. It as also quite short compared to other companies, definetely on the easier side of things.

Question 1
Previous work questions, like what I've done, what obstacles I've faced, how I solved them etc.
Primero se realiza una entrevista con el equipo de Recursos Humanos para validar la experiencia y el interés en el rol. Durante esta etapa también hacen algunas preguntas en inglés para evaluar el nivel del idioma, ya que es un requisito del puesto.
El siguiente paso consiste en una serie de assessments lógicos y técnicos. En mi caso, al postular a un rol Full Stack, respondí preguntas en una plataforma en línea sobre backend, frontend y SQL.
No fui seleccionado en el proceso, por lo que desconozco qué etapas siguen después de esa evaluación.

Question 1
En la entrevista técnica tuve que desarrollar una pequeña API que filtrara ciertos resultados. En la parte del frontend, utilizando React, realicé una llamada a un endpoint para mostrar y filtrar dicha información.
