Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Compass (Seattle, WA) en oct 2020
Entrevista
I received a call from a representative, although it was a human being it could have been AI. They were obviously reading questions from a script. Lame questions like what was your most recent project, what did you contribute, what language would you use given the choice, etc. After answering very rubber stamp questions I was told a third party would call and give me a tech quiz. I immediately backed out.
Everything about this reeked of assembly line robot factory work. I wanted to get past the robo-call and have a 1:1 with the hiring manager to learn about the engineering teams, what's working well, what are the lumps, how do they contribute to the business.

Pretty chill. Three rounds of debugging, technical (leetcode), and behavioral, which was more like high-level with AI assistance. The values did not come up very much while going through the interview process.

Had us do an AI round about forms and matching things.
Debugging, technical, then behavioral. I had been given two language options for the debugging portion (Java or Python) during the phone interview then when I went to the onsite there seemed to be a miscommunication because the interview said I could use JS since I was applying as a frontend engineer. The debugging was pretty doable, the behavioral was odd but fine.
The interview process felt chaotic and poorly organized. What I was asked in the interview didn’t align with what HR told me to expect, and the interview started late. The lack of alignment between HR and the interviewer made it feel like the company overall may be chaotic. Afterward, HR’s follow-ups were generic and robotic, and the employer also mentioned layoffs, which added to the uncertainty. Overall, it didn’t feel worth the effort.
