Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en Wefunder (San Francisco, CA) en may 2021
Entrevista
- Initial screening call
- ~1 hour with VP of engineering + another engineer, walking them through code + functionality of a project I built
- 8-hour (of which, 6 were paid for!) "virtual on-site"
-- ~5 hours pair programming with VP, split by a 1-hour lunch with misc employees
-- 1 hour with CTO, talking about experience and conceptualizing a feature
-- 1 hour with CEO, talking about my motivations, and generally just getting to know each other a bit
I'm largely posting this review because I saw all the negative interview experiences and the CTO mentioned they just revamped their process. I thought the whole process was very smooth. I especially appreciated that they were always clear on next steps, my time pair programming was compensated, and they gave me sincere feedback on why I didn't receive an offer.
As an aside, I'm excited to see Wefunder grow! They have a very talented and friendly crew, and I definitely got the feeling that they're in a transformational period of their growth-- trying to figure out how to implement just the right amount of process to sustain the company long-term without sacrificing the scrappy, hackerish nature of the culture.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
- Pair programming involved coding a feature that was eventually to be implemented in production. As this was a full-stack role, we touched on Ruby/JS/HTML/CSS including researching 3rd party packages to cover aspects of the funcitonality.
- CTO asked for details on how I would implement a certain feature.
some algorithm design type questions, some pseudocode system design, some behaviorals. Mostly standard stuff, but the leetcode is less algorithmic and more application based. Two rounds of interviews following a series of emails.
Phone/behavioral screen + tech screen. The process was great until I was ghosted after being told I would be moving onto the final round interview. No response from a single person despite multiple follow ups.
