Interview Process:
1. Phone Screen
2. Technical Interview
I didn't progress past the technical interview. I was informed that the technical interview would involve working on existing backend code that was already functioning and tested, and that it wouldn't require any algorithms.
However, the reality was different. The one-hour technical interview involved solving a challenge obviously taken from leetcode.com. I struggled with the challenge and failed, but I would have prepared more for algorithms if I had known this in advance. The problem itself wasn't particularly difficult, and I believe I could have handled it with proper preparation.
Overall, I had a negative experience due to the misrepresentation of the interview process, which resulted in wasting an hour of my time.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cocoon (CA) in Sep 2022
Interview
This originally started off as a very positive experience, however, they decided to ghost me after sending over an assessment and NDA. I followed up a few times but no one ever got back to me. It's upsetting to have completed the assessment for this blatant disrespect. If the role was eliminated it would be understandable but their career tab still has it posted.
