I applied through other source. I interviewed at Originate (New York, NY) in Aug 2018
Interview
This was a nice place to interview, the process moved quickly and the questions felt like fair prompts for discussion. I was pleased not to need to do on-the-spot white boarding or go through surprise trivia questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We walked through a piece of involved OSS work together.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Originate (Las Vegas, NV) in Dec 2016
Interview
Had an easy coding challenge, then had two onsite interviews, one with the team and another with the CEO. All went well, was given a verbal offer and was told I was going to get a written offer. Was asked for the offers from my other companies and when I told them they needed to make me a written offer first then we can discuss my other offers they told me they would not be making a written offer. They also refused to reimburse me for travel expenses, namely uber/lyft rides. They aren't serious about making offers, not even worth applying here just for the offer since you won't get it.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Originate (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I met a couple of people from Originate. It was one of the worst & unprofessional interview process I have ever gone through.
I was given a coding challenge with an absolute status of failure. What happened was that I received messages between two employees and both decided to fail me but gave me a coding challenge regardless to "maintain" a good relationship which I found to be a massive waste of time.
They never should have done that. I still have the messages between the two to this day.
