J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Column en mars 2021
Entretien
The first interview went well. It was mostly a conversation about what Column is and its culture. The next interview was a more technical discussion about frameworks and libraries I've used before, etc. After the second interview I have not heard back from Column. Reached out to the company for any feedback or status update and have not heard anything since. This was really frustrating. People put time and energy into these interviews, any kind of response or feedback would have been nice instead of ghosting applicants.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Describe frameworks and technologies you've used on previous projects.
Thank you so much for taking the time to interview with our team and for providing this feedback! It is our intent to give folks clarity about whether or not we're moving forward very quickly and we clearly fell short here.
Autres retours d’entretien d’embauche pour un poste comme Software Engineer chez Column
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Column en mai 2022
Entretien
I applied at Column in April 2022, they were pretty reactive and I passed 4 interviews (screening, pair programming, CTO, software engineering manager) on 3 weeks.
They conducted the interviews in one of the best ways I’ve been into and I particularly liked their transparency.
After my last interview, I never heard back from them again. As I needed to make a choice quickly I sent a follow up mail but they didn’t bother to answer either.
From the previous posts it seems to be pretty common for them, I’m a bit disappointed as it gives performative vibes to some positives points, had I known earlier I wouldn’t have waste my time applying to their offer.

Once I submitted the application, they took 2 weeks and responded with a meeting invite with their technical recruiter. It was for 30 minutes. It took close to 2 weeks to send me a meeting invite for the next round. It was a pair programming round with one of their senior software engineer. Post which they sent me a rejection mail.

Question 1
With respect to your latest work, what's that one thing that you are very proud of.
The initial interview was pretty standard. We talked about background and I got to know a little more about the company from the interviewer's perspective. I liked their energy and enthusiasm. The technical interview was a little less dialed than I expected. I felt the tasks were not on par with what one would normally see in a 45 minute React technical (that started late) without having any prior access to the files. The pressure got to me, personally I felt like it was hard to perform under those conditions.

Question 1
The initial interview had questions sprinkled in about why I'd choose certain js libraries and how I handled application state in the past. The technical was coding a controlled React component, making use of a couple provided functions for calculating price and an API that translates use input text into a preview image.
