      Development Specialist Interview

      17 Mar 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BetterUp

      Interview

      An absolutely outrageous and completely unethical interview process. In the first round, the recruiter was quite pleasant, but then informed me there would be SEVEN rounds of interviews for the role. Learning this was immediately concerning, but it was an interesting enough opportunity to at least look at it further. Even though I followed up, I had assumed they moved on as I did not hear back from them for over 2 weeks. When the recruiter did contact me again, I was assigned an "exercise" for my 3rd round interview. Now, I'm used to doing exercises. Especially for development roles, it is appropriate to review someone's style and approach. However, it is an absolutely unreasonable and unethical request to ask a candidate to solve your upcoming business case for free.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They expected 5 hours of unpaid work addressing an actual business issue. This was not a hypothetical situation, with a reasonable time investment expectation, but a request for proposal for the service they intended to roll out. This "exercise" could also not be reasonably done within a 5-hour window.
