| > It's surprising how many companies are bad at the interviewing process. Some companies have such unrealistic expectations too. Here's one from a company that I bailed out of. Would have been an interesting company, I think, but not world-changing. This is literally how they described their process: Phase 1: Initial conversations - 30 minute recruiter screen - 60 minute resume deep dive Phase 2: Interviews - 15 minute hiring manager screen - 2 x 45 minute engineering - 60 minute overview of your past projects, including presentation Phase 3: Further interviews - 30 minute second interview with hiring manager - 30 minute values interview - 30 minute leadership interview - "additional interviews as required for position" |
- 30 minute recruiter call/discussion
- 50 minute l33t code
- 50 minute systems design
- 30 minute in-depth presentation to a committee
- 4-6x 45 minute group interviews covering l33tcode and system design as well as my presentation
By the time I would have been done with this it would have taken basically a day of real time not to mention prep work for the presentation and every other interview.
The pay was good but not life changing.
