Ten Thousand Coffees Interview Questions

Straight forward personal, professional and character interviews. Challenging but thought provoking case study with senior leaders on your team and a chance to meet with and present to people team, your team, relevant stakeholders. Final meeting with c-suite.

First, there's a 45 minute chat with the tech recruiter to see if you want to continue the application process with 10 thousand coffees. If you want to continue, there's a mini-coding exercise that takes around 2-3 hours. They evaluate your submission and if they want to continue with you, you're brought to meet with some of the software engineering team. You're then given a take-home exercise that'll take 10-15 hours to do. You will present your solution to their team. The final step is meeting with their CTO about the internship and potentially finalize the offer. this process is expected to take 4-5 weeks.

Many 30 minute interviews, sometimes with the same person, who begins with "I have a hard stop in 30 minutes". Lots of general questions but they don't have answers to specific questions. Generally, wasted my time and simply ghosted them, because of the merry go round of further emails, scheduled then cancelled appointments. Seems chaotic and unclear what the business model is.

I was contacted by an external recruiter from Mindwire Systems. They told me the interview process is as follows: 1. this external recruiter screening 2. internal HR screening 3. take home code assignment 4. interview with hiring manager 5. SECOND take home assignment 6. offer This interviewing process is pretty onerous and so I declined to continue the process. It's a hot job market for developers and there are some places forgoing any take-home assignments and whiteboard evaluation. I was also surprised to learn that there's no plan to let a candidate meet and interview with the prospective team. The "max salary" the recruiter told me was 10k/year lower than the company's own listing.

I was contacted via LinkedIn for a virtual interview and was told I fully qualify for the role. They gave me a thorough description of the role and upcoming challenges, and promised to set up an interview with the hiring manager. We set a tentative time for the following week and I was supposed to get an invitation. From the conversation, I understood I needed to present specific examples of my work, so I started preparing right away. After a week or so, I followed up because there was no invitation, but nobody responded. I sent another note two days later and a message through LinkedIn; however I only got crickets. I'm currently employed and not desperate to get another job; however I'm very disappointed because this company reached out to me in the first place. The role seemed like a great fit and everything sounded like I was going to advance in the process. Why leave me hanging like that? Even if they're busy, this approach is utterly disrespectful to candidates. Candidates are customers too. Because of these shady approaches I wouldn't recommend interviewing with this company or using their platform.

HR interview, followed by Hiring Manager round and then case study. The process was quick and well organized. Cherifta was amazing in co-ordinating the process and kept me informed of the process well in advance. Everyone interviewing was very supportive and helpful

Pretty standard. There were some standard questions about how I would go about debugging a general issue on the site. Then a couple of technical questions. And questions about any personal projects.

The Interview was set up as a single phone interview which lasted less than 30 minutes. This interview began with a brief and friendly chat about my interests, some of the clubs, teams and associations I was involved with on Campus. I had just come back from an event with another school club so this filled a large chunk of the conversation. I was also asked to tell them a little about myself. Next, a quick resume review -- answers any curiosities the interviewer had about particular jobs or clubs. Again fairly informal, and easy going. The questions asked were all STANDARD behavioural / situational questions -- along the lines of "Tell me about a time where there was a conflict at work and how did you address this" . If you research a list of common interview questions, you'll breeze through this part without even needing to think. I believe I was offered the job at the end of the call or through email immediately afterwards. The initial training was about a week and a half later.
