I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PebblePost (New York, NY) in Aug 2017
Interview
There are three major steps to the interview process:
1) Technical phone screen, basic/advanced questions about the technology stack (Java and/or Scala depending on the role)
2) Coding assignment, can be completed in-person or off-site (for candidates that will relocate). I had four hours to complete this, was allowed to ask questions and had free use of the internet (using the internet for assistance is encouraged). The coding assignment seems to mimic the typical work process.
3) Personality/Culture fit
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Java 8 lambdas, what are they and how are they used?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PebblePost in Oct 2025
Interview
I first had a recruiter screening where we discussed my past experience, and the recruiter walked me through the role in detail. After that, I had a technical phone screen with the hiring manager, which focused on my previous work and some general backend-related questions. Following that round, I was given a take-home assignment. Unfortunately, I was rejected after completing and submitting the take-home assignment.
