Interview questions [1]
Question 1
i was asked to do a take home assessment and present my work as opposed to live coding.
I had a really smooth start with this company after applying. They got back to me super fast, and setting up our first chat was a breeze thanks to their handy scheduling tool (big fan of Calendly-type software). The 30-minute intro call with the recruiter felt like a good first step, and I appreciated how organized everything was.
Pros:
I've got to give it to them for using some cool tech to manage their recruiting. Those reminder and confirmation emails were like little lifelines, keeping me in the loop every step of the way.
Cons:
The journey took a bit of a turn when I found out I wasn’t moving forward, mainly because I wasn’t familiar with a certain software they use. Recruiter mentioned that they didn't have any constructive feedback to give me.
Overall:
Props with how streamlined and the initial steps were. Disappointed in the reasoning on the rejection.
