I applied online. I interviewed at Hydropoint (Boise, ID) in May 2026
Interview
The screening interview was very open ended. It didn't feel to me like the interviewer had a plan. He asked for a summary of my experince, I kept it short thinking it was the first of many questions, but it ended up being the only real structured question he asked, so the rest of the interview felt like filler. My experience wasn't great, but it could have been my fault.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked for a summary about myself and my experience.
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Hydropoint (Petaluma, CA)
Interview
I first had a phone screen that lasted 30-45 minutes going over my background, previous projects and some technical questions relating to the required language. I was then e-mailed that the phone screen went well and they would schedule me to come in for an in person interview soon.
Nothing.
I e-mail them back asking when we should schedule and finally over a month past the phone screen, an in person interview is scheduled. I attend the interview and I felt like everything went well. I could answer all the technical questions with ease. I was told I would be contacted soon for a second round of interviews with the dev team.
And..... Nothing! Completely ghosted, even after following up over e-mail.
Very unprofessional process and a complete waste of time.
