I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Ezoic in Jul 2022
Interview
First a 30 minute phone interview where you are introduced to the company and talk about a recent project you worked on.
Next part is an online assessment with Byteboard.
Finally you're given a project about 24 hours before a final interview. Plan to work on this for around 6 hours.
You can use any language you want and can add any extra features you think of. At the final interview you present the project and explain your process. You're asked what else you would add if you had more time.
Then you're asked to add features on the spot. You're encouraged to ask questions and talk through your process. Afterward, a few more questions about your background and a detailed explanation about the company.
Overall I felt like the process was tough but much better than typical technical interviews. It was similar to how you would work in the real world.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe a project you recent worked on that was challenging or exciting to work on.
one byteboard online test (not difficult) and one super long final interview, about two hours. A bit difficult and require working on a project and then take it to the interview
Excessive: 1 hour with a non-developer recruiter, then a 1 hour online assessment with multiple flaws in it's construction which inhibited proper evaluation, then a 3 hour panel interview, and THEN an open-ended "take-home" project... only to get rejected despite succeeding at the assessments, and being fully qualified, with 20 years of experience particularly in Ezoic's precise field (Click Thru maximization, A.I.) -- all while bidding under their maximum offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Online test where the emphasis was on pitfalls instead of the quality of your development, as well as an out-of-scope unanswerable question given the information and time provided.
