Interview
Got passed the technical interview easily and was called in for a face to face interview. I was quite impressed by the office space, however that's where the positives end. I was interviewed by a very uninterested what appeared to be a junior developer.
I explained to the interviewer my past experience and tried to explain Redux and state management to him, but I could tell he wasn't sure what I was talking about. I also explained our company structure and how we are doing agile and TDD. He explained that they dont really have a structure for agile and they dont do TDD, which came as quite a shock, and I left not really understanding what I had just heard.
I got an email the next day saying that they appreciated that I enjoyed looking into new frameworks, However there would be to much of a gap between me and the other developers. To be quite frank the person who interviewed me was in no position to make such a call.
Overall this is a company who seems to be more interested in showing off their shiny office then showing off their process' or accomplishments. If I have a word of advice for other developers thinking to join teamwork it would be to steer well clear as im not sure where this company is going, They are taking on very big names - Jira and Slack and to be honest are failing miserably

Other Senior Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Teamwork
Initially I had a call with HR after applying for the role online. Very friendly, some basic screening and fit conversation. The role and process was outlined. A coding challenge was sent out, ask was to have it back before the end of the week.

Other questions were aimed at getting to know me better and my interests
I applied online. I interviewed at Teamwork (Cork) in Apr 2019
Interview
The worst interview I've ever experienced. The whole process took about 2 months from start to finish. It took nearly 2 weeks of waiting before I was able to find out if I got to the next stage with no updates in between. Anytime I asked for one, I was told ridiculous excuses and brushed off. After passing the phone and coding tests, I was called in for a face-to-face interview. I was impressed by the office space but as others say, that's where the positives end. I was interviewed by a developer and some 'other' person, which they didn't tell me who it was at first, but judging by their age, seemed to be a fresh college graduate. When I was answering the questions, the developer often laughed at my answers in a sarcastic, put-down way which I thought was unprofessional for an interview setting. Ironically, I was told of a few firings of people due to bullying. I was frequently interrupted by various notifications coming from the developer's laptop and phone, which they didn't bother to silence. At the end of the interview when it was my turn to ask questions, I found that that the 'other' person that was interviewing me was in-fact an intern. I have never encountered in my whole career to be interviewed for a senior role by an intern. This is absolute shambles. This company is full of red flags. AVOID.

Interview
Phone screening with recruiter, short presentation of company, few Q&A about employment status and salary expectation.
Receive a coding test by mail, very general description about building something, need to accomplish in reasonable time frame.. After spending 20 hours doing test at evening and weekend, sending back the test as instructed, then never hear from them again.
Did not bother to check in with them, probably lost somewhere in the process..
Bit waist of time, special time use for doing test implementation is in evening and weekend after a long working day/weeks, probably lose 1.5 weekends and some random hours in couple of evening to accomplish test.
As a team lead I doing training and hiring, and we use similar test as well as part of the evaluation process.. But if people spending their free time doing test and candidate want feedback, we always giving feedback in timely manner and giving suggestion for improvement, no matter they are hire or not. At minimum email with a few lines or a phone call. It's part of professional courtesy.
