J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Siepe (Dallas, TX) en août 2021
Entretien
The interview process was a screening call with a recruiter from SharpEcho (30 min). Then he moved me to an introductory call with Siepe (1 hour), a technical assessment (3.5 hours) and what was supposed to be a final meet and greet with the CEO and CTO (2 hours), the last interview never happened. After the technical interview the recruiter Jacob Stone from SharpEcho asked me for my availability for the final interview and after I gave him my availability he ghosted me. I am not sure what happened the people from Siepe where happy with my performance in the interview and even told me that I only had one more interview.

Entretien
30 min Interview with the Siepe recruiter
Then 60 min interview with the hiring manager/director
Then 1.5 hour take-home HackerRank questions
Then you are SUPPOSED to hear back from them and if successful, meet the team, CEO, and CTO, but I was completely GHOSTED. Even after multiple follow up emails, the recruiter, who I know had read the email, NEVER responded.
The interview process began with a brief phone screening, followed by a technical coding assessment, and finally an in-person interview going over experience and behavioral questions. The technical assessment was fair and moderately easy, mostly Leetcode-style questions. The other developers I met during the interview process seemed very nice, knowledgeable, and professional. However, throughout the process I asked multiple times to clarify about their hybrid work schedule, and I got a different answer each time, which raised a huge red flag. After the final interview, I was informed I did very well on the technical assessment and overall behavioral questions, but I was rejected for not wanting to come in-office full time (for a role that was advertised repeatedly as hybrid). This suggests either incompetent or dishonest communication from upper management. Overall, this company's interview process was a waste of my time. Clear expectations about the role should be established well before the final interview, and a candidate should not get different answers about the role depending on who they ask.
