      Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 20, 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at UnboundEd in Aug 2024

      Interview

      First off, job posting was specific on skills needed but said NOTHING about the app/code that would actually be worked on. This was confusing since Unbounded is not a tech company. 1) 15 min Initial screening call with outsource recruiting firm. Went well but the recruiter did little more than filter resumes. 2) After 2 weeks of crickets- 30 min interview with team of 3. Questions had nothing to do with the skills required on the posting. No one in the company is technical nor has any ability to evaluate a software developer Wasn't until the last 5 minutes I was allowed questions, and they answered my questions about what I would be working on. 3) After 3 weeks of crickets and ignored follow ups - sent an extremely confusing assignment which took 6 hours to complete. The assignment had NOTHING to do with anything in the job posting. After seeking clarification they responded that the questions where ambiguous on purpose. Sure. 4) After 3 more weeks of crickets - sent the works coding test I have ever seen. Again, no one at the company has ANY IT or development skills. 5) After 4 more weeks of crickets they finally sent a rejection letter. So in total, i spent 10+ hours doing work for Unbounded and received a 30 minute interview. Even the initial outsourced recruiter told me that she stopped working for them because they were impossible to communicate with.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      In order to better understand each candidate, we’ve prepared these scenarios for you to consider and respond to. This is an opportunity to help us understand how you approach the real day to day work this role would entail. Note that we are requesting a video submission for Part 3. Please record yourself in whatever way or format is most convenient and comfortable for you. There are various free and easy-to-use platforms available to record such a video. Screen recording apps/services include options such as Vimeo, Loom, OBS, PowerPoint, Zoom, etc. After you have recorded your presentation, please ensure you have a shareable link to submit your video. If your video is a file on your phone/computer consider uploading it to YouTube or Vimeo to be able to share a link with the hiring team. Please check your settings so that it will be viewable to anyone with the link. We will accept video submissions for the other questions as well if that is your preference. Please also limit those videos to a few minutes each. We look forward to seeing what you come up with. Part 1: We want to add self-service reporting capabilities to our LMS so our clients can track the progress of learners through their assigned content. We don’t yet have full requirements written, and we’re thinking ahead about scope and level of effort. What are 2-3 questions you would ask to clarify intent so that you could begin thinking about engineering level of effort? Part 2: Assume now that requirements are written for a highly customizable report request interface with many admin-selectable parameters, as well as a data dashboard with dynamic visualizations. From an engineering perspective, how could this feature set be delivered iteratively? Demonstrate with a representative example the interaction between the UI layer (assume VueJs) and the database (assume MySQL). Part 3: We’ve been invited to highlight our roadmap for this feature in an all-team meeting. We have only a few minutes to present to an audience that includes engineering, sales, customer success, and senior leadership teammates. Submit a video of 5 minutes or less describing the architecture of our solution. Describe each component of the tech stack and how each of them contributes to the solution. You may create a diagram or other visual to help the audience understand.
