I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BambooHR in Jun 2022
Interview
Pretty straightforward and 100% virtual.
I was given the number of a recruiter and texted him right after I submitted my application. Even though it was about 8pm on a Friday, he called back within 10 minutes and we had what was basically an initial screening right then.
Their recruiters do a good job keeping you informed on where you are at and next steps. I was impressed with the whole process.
They are hiring like crazy right now, so the whole process took a little longer than I would consider normal.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Normal questions about previous work experience, challenges faced, how I dealt with them.
Interview process was long, Several rounds, Including 2 different assessments. Very little transparency to the engineering team that you would be working with. Final interviews with committee that is comprised of different engineers from different teams. Overall the assessment seemed very arbitrary and without direction. Seemed like they didn't know what kind of person they were looking for.

Don't bother with these types of places. Applied online. Sent a hackerrank link in my email some weeks later. 10 free form essay questions akin to "what is your greatest weakness?". Seriously? Maybe ask these in person instead? A few easy technical questions related to HTML, CSS, JS and react. 3.5 hours is the allotted time. This is all before talking to a single human being.
Pay isn't listed but looking at glassdoor it's not good. I already have 2 offers at places with much higher pay so I'm not going to waste my time with somewhere that doesn't respect it.

flexbox, react, javascript arrays, and tons of soft questions to fill with chatgpt.
Hi. I'm sorry that our interview process was frustrating. We want to provide the right balance between automating appropriate steps while having strong in-person engagement and it sounds like there's an opportunity to improve our approach. Thanks for this feedback; we will review with the team!

Interview
Recruiter call, behavioral call , hacker rank assesment, another behavioral call, recruiters were pretty unresponsive, never got back to me, had to go through various people to get answers. Behavioral calls over phone instead of video seems impersonal. The second video behavioral was good , but others were not. Recruiters never got back to me with feedback, even if i was offered a position i would have declined. Out of all interviews i have had, this ranks at the bottom
