      Senior Full Stack Interview

      Sep 17, 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Portland, OR
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Acorns (Portland, OR) in Sep 2019

      Interview

      No code challenge. Initial phone screen with a recruiter and then another minimally technical phone screen from one of their directors. The onsite interview was unorganised. I was instructed to go to the wrong floor of their building. Their office manager ushered me to a sofa where she left me unattended. I was told someone else would help me get setup in the conference room. 5 minutes after my interview should have started an employee asked if anyone was helping me. LOL. Who is running this ship? Anyways, I am eventually setup in a room where I'm greeted by someone that wasn't part of the 5 people I prepared questions for. Preparing questions for the VP of Engineering and a janitor are two much different sets of questions. Come to think of it, only 1/5 people I was scheduled to speak with were who I actually talked to. 3 hours of grilling ensued. A week later I got a phone call saying I got a "thumbs down".
