I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Weedmaps (New York, NY) in Nov 2021
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn in. She conducted a "tech trivia" style phone screen about ruby on rails. I laughed a bit when she unironically asked me the difference between a stack and a queue.
Next was a take-home coding assignment w/ 5 days to complete it. Instructions said to spend 4 hours max. No starting code was given. It was up to me to generate a new boilerplate project. Assignment included an API, unit tests, and a database. There was a "Bonus" section where you could implement an image upload endpoint and deploy your app to Heroku.
I have no idea how anyone could possibly do bonus part (let alone the base assignment) in 4 hours.
The other quirk was they wanted it to be a new GitHub repo with clear commit messages. I guess they want to see the commit history.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Weedmaps (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2024
Interview
I wouldn't work here. During the interview the "manager" was so distracted. Didn't seem interested in talking to me and was only doing the interview to check a box. One side note, the manager did mention that he didn't want someone to come in and offer changes. Only do what they have in place, they are tired of change. So... take that for what it is worth
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Weedmaps (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
The recruiter was amazing and I had a great time all the way up to the tech interview. The tech interview was conducted by someone who approximately 24-25 years old. Which by itself is fine. I had 10 years on the job at that point and near the end of the tech interview, which I solved it just not SUPER EFFICIENT result, He said out loud, "You're rusty, maybe go practice some more." At this point I realized this was no where I wanted to work.
