J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 5 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Skillz
Entretien
They seriously need to reconsider their interview process. Too many rounds. Don’t understand why the C-suite still interviews candidates for entry-mid level positions.
Really lengthy interview process that included: initial recruiter screening, interview with hiring manager, hacker rank assessment, technical interview, architecture interview, peer panel interview, another hiring manager interview, culture interview, interview
with senior management, interview with leadership team, interview with C-suite...
They really push you to play at least 20 games before the final interviews. Is their way to boost their player numbers? Almost all the games are copycats of existing games and many of them aren’t even optimized to work properly on iOS.
Noticed this before the final round: Rank the interviews by lowest score first and you can see that they forced employees to give positive reviews on the company and CEO on glassdoor. Also they apparently assign story points by the hour for biweekly sprints, so you know they are probably mismanaged in a way.
They went public through a SPAC, which is still an unknown in the long term - let’s see how things turn out.
Glad I was rejected.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Programming problem on HackerRank related to the role
Very basic questions, but too many interview rounds (cannot recount how many...cut them short as it was so long, found something else). Mandatory RTO. Be aware of the toxic culture (can be felt within the process and awkward silence when asked about it).
Advice: Read review on Glassdoor before even wasting your time applying.

Question 1
Basic code base question (more "out of university" basic question), more experimented dev might need to polish on old design system and naming for the interview.

During one of the calls, I asked for a salary range but wasn't given one. That came off as strange to me as it felt like it was purposely being hidden.
For the coding part, it was multiple different files, each a different question, containing "bad code" or incomplete code that had to be fixed.
