I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sezzle in Jul 2023
Interview
After applying, I received an email about an online test which was a mix of Cognitive ability, motivation, and personality. It. took about 2 hours total. None of the questions had anything to do with being a SWE at all. Really random math questions & "do you prefer x or y" questions. After that, a few days later I received a link to a coding assessment which was another 2-2.5 hours. At this point, I hadn't spoken to a recruiter or anyone from the company via the phone which I did not appreciate. I did not do the coding assessment as received a generic rejection email a few days later. That first assessment they send is really not a good fit for engineers. The whole process should be improved in my opinion.

Question 1
Wonderlic assessment with 3 parts. A few days later, it was a coding assessment.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sezzle in Jan 2026
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.
