El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Skillz (Los Angeles, CA) en sep 2021
Entrevista
Lengthy 7 rounds
1) Hackerrank exam (not too difficult)
2) Systems Design interview (by experienced devs)
3) Technical interview (less experienced devs)
4) Manager interview one (culture fit / technical skillz check)
5) Manager interview two (culture fit / technical skillz check)
6) Upper level manager interview (did not seem to care about the interview. Was merely present and did not ask me any questions. I had to do most of the talking)
At this point before the final round, they pulled a bait and switch and said they would only offer me 70% of my original proposed compensation. I promptly pulled out of the interview and cancelled the last round.

Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Skillz (Las Vegas, NV) en dic 2024
Entrevista
I was reached out to on LinkedIn by one of the Senior Technical Recruiters. After an initial phone call, the recruiter said he liked my profile and I would be a great fit for the company. He asked me to apply to their job post, and I did. He said he would soon share the coding interview date.
But after that, the recruiter simply ghosted me. I messaged him multiple times but got no reply. After a few days, I received a generic email that they won't be moving forward with my application.
While I understand that a company has the right to decide who they choose and who they don't, but I'd expect the recruiter who reached out to me to convince me to apply to their job will at least let me know the update on my application or their decision, and not ignore my message. It shows poor ethics. And I'm honestly glad that I didn't move further in such a company where they don't value people's time and effort.
The interview process consisted of 4 to 5 rounds, each uniquely designed with no repetitive questions. The questions were practical, grounded in real-world scenarios, and closely aligned with my own work experience. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable, with a relaxed pace that made it stress-free and comfortable.
