I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sun West Mortgage in Nov 2023
Interview
Email was sent to inform I was "shortlisted". Received call to schedule interview within a day and interview was scheduled a few days later. Interviewer was a bit awkward and very difficult to understand jumping straight into technical questions with barely a hello. Questions seemed hastily prepared as the interviewer, in explaining the set-up for the scenario, ended up essentially answering the question he was asking. For the cherry, when questioned about the position the interviewer declined to provide information about the tech stack, workplace, or position openings. Very bizarre experience.

Question 1
First interview was a verbal technical interview with the main component being an architectural design question around database and API and then asking about experience.
Did the online Intervue assignment, and the questions were very similar to what all the other Glassdoor reviews say (HTML parsing). Aced it, but the platform constantly flagged me for mouth movement even though my mouth was NOT moving. I think it was due to my facial hair. Absolute waste of time (90 minutes). Do NOT do online assessments for companies that are sent out automatically.
I was invited to an online assessment. The assessment was very annoying with the “cheat detection”. There are 7 questions, one is required and the rest are optional. After a couple weeks, I got a “not moving forward” email.

Interview
I applied for the Software Engineer position in April 2026. In May, I received an online assessment and completed it shortly afterward. About a month later, in June, I was contacted by the recruiting team and invited to a first-round interview.
