Brief technical screening with a take home project and more in depth technical interfiew. Questions were around JavaScript, API's, and syntax. Everyone was pleasant and kind. The take home project was aimed at being 3 hours of work, and you are supposed to simulate a code review after completion.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Custom Ink in Feb 2020
Interview
Phone screen was simple with standard about us / about you / interest in the company.
Second interview was a video chat with an individual whom needed better interviewing skills. Very uninterested with what I had to say about my experiences. The individual couldn't comprehend my responses to the Q&A if I didn't provide the exact word(s) that he must have copied from google. After multiple eye rolls and asking me to rephrase my answer to something that matched his sheet, the interview ended abruptly without explanation.
I'm glad I wasn't offered a position after this experience but I fear the company will continue having a hard time finding good fit without some oversight from a more experienced engineer in the interview process.

Question 1
What's the pro(s) and con(s) of a relational db vs document db?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Custom Ink (McLean, VA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Internal referral led to phone screen, unfortunately I was interviewing as a freshman and massively under qualified. From what I can see, the role was somewhat understated on their site and they were really looking for juniors and exceptional sophomores.
