Two rounds with hiring managers. Frontend interview. Backend interview.
Demeaning process, rude senior engineers. Get everything right but no offer. Looking for perfection for a very low salary. Wouldn't recommend.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BentoBox (New York, NY) in Jan 2024
Interview
The interview process consisted of four stages: a phone screening, a general technical interview, a frontend technical interview, a backend API technical interview, and a behavioral interview. The experience was straightforward and well-organized, with the interviewers being consistently nice, helpful, and professional throughout.

Interview
Completed recruiter screen, and scheduled for a 45 minute technical. I asked and was specifically told there would be no white boarding, that it would just be a conversation to learn more about my technical background. The interview was just tech-trivia, no questions about my actual work experience. After 30 minutes I was asked to open a google doc, share screen, and complete an algo that was pasted into the call chat. After I completed a solution, I was asked to optimize it. At this point I addressed that we were at 45 minute call length. The interviewer told me that the interview should have been scheduled as 1 hour, and 45 minutes was incorrect. He then asked if I had somewhere to be, I did not and completed the algo as asked.
