      I interviewed at Simply Hired

      Interview

      Worst interview ever, the interviewer ask me one open-ended problem, but what he want to see is if I can come up with the exact same solution that he has.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Simply Hired

      Interview

      Had an initial phone interview that was largely technical but relatively easy and then an on-site interview that involved three technical questions that I found pretty hard. They said they'd take one week to get back to me after the on-site interview but it took them a couple weeks. I was unfortunately rejected but not surprised as I was not aware of some of the data structures asked during the on-site interview.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Simply Hired (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      The process starts with a 30-45 technical screen with a member of the engineering team or an Lead. The Engineering lead I spoke to was very friendly and told me about the projects they work on and the team structure. After that your then given a coding exercise. The Eng lead gave me some hints here and there and I was able to solve the problem. I was told I'd hear from the recruiter for next steps. After that, I was immediately contacted by the recruiter for an onsite interview. In the onsite, I met with 3 engineers and again it was all technical questions. What stood apart for me was that everyone that I met, was personable. I've been on interviews where the engineering team have been rude and even arrogant. It's not the case at Simply Hired. After the first round, I was called back in for a final round to meet with the VP of Engineering, CEO, and Sr. Director of HR. I was nervous but I was asked basic questions on what I can contribute to the company and why I want to work here. (These interviews I wasn't asked to do any coding exercises.) After that, I heard from the recruiter that they would like to give me an offer. All in all, the process was faster than most other companies that I interviewed. I really just loved the energy of the Engineering team and the fact that everyone that I met seemed passionate about the work they do. I've been working here for a couple months now and I feel like the work I do here is meangingful!
