I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Compass in Apr 2021
Interview
Only hit first round technical -- another interview hosted by Karat.
First half was a series of questions, you could pick from a few categories then answer 3-4 questions about each one.
Second half was a two part technical problem, LC Medium. I choked on the second part but found a solution but didn't have time to implement it.
In-house recruiter came back telling me I "wouldn't fit in with other developers at Compass". Pretty dismissive, didn't take it very seriously, no feedback. Wouldn't be interested in interviewing again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Testing, OOP, Frontend, Backend questions followed by LC medium.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Compass (New York, NY) in Jan 2019
Interview
I had a phone screen with a technical recruiter, then two technical phone screens using Coderpad, and finally an onsite where I had 4 interviews and I met another engineer over lunch. Everyone I met was nice, although two of the engineers had zero personality. During the phone screens the interviewers were very relaxed, I could Google questions, etc. Mostly wanted to see my thought process.
