Interview
I don't think this is a real company other than some weird egotistical resume padding for the founders. Seriously, they have no idea what they're looking for and it's clear in their lack of direction. The founders didn't even graduate college and lack the fundamentals. They have no idea what they're talking about and anyone with a bit of knowledge can easily call out their BS.

Question 1
General questions about background with no systems questions before giving me work.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Alloy Automation in Dec 2024
Interview
Alloy reached out to me on LinkedIn for an open position. Although I wasn’t actively looking for a job change, I decided to have an initial conversation. The talent manager was highly engaging and convinced me to explore the opportunity further.
Throughout the interview process, I spoke with several team members, all of whom demonstrated professionalism, genuine interest in my background and skills, and, most importantly, an interest in me as a person. Their product seems strong, and their company strategy is well thought out. I also got a great impression of their company culture.
As part of the process, they asked me to prepare a presentation and participate in a role-play exercise. While challenging, these were well-structured and managed effectively. The entire process was smooth and left me with a very positive impression of the company.
In the end, I decided not to accept their offer for personal reasons, but I truly enjoyed the experience and getting to know the team. My only critique would be that they pushed a bit too hard for a near-immediate decision, essentially the day after extending the offer. While I understand their internal timelines and the need to keep the process moving, a little more flexibility would have been appreciated.
Overall, I had a great experience with Alloy and would recommend them to anyone considering an opportunity there.

Interview
The interview process started out fine then a little back and fort. I got to two technical stage, the first stage went just okay and the second stage did not last more than 10mins. Both engineers asked very unimportant questions, it felt like they didn't know how to interview or it was their first time interviewing
