I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DevonWay in Sept 2023
Interview
DevonWay is generally well-regarded by its employees and boasts high retention rates. However, there are opportunities for improvement in their interview process, which I'll outline below: 1. The initial HR screener provided an overview of the organization but lacked detailed information about the role or team. 2. Candidates are asked to complete a Technical Challenge upfront, consuming a substantial amount of time (5 hours) before any interaction with a hiring manager. Additionally, there's pressure to complete the extra credit project, which may not align with the candidate's strengths. 3. After completing the technical task, there was a week of silence, followed by inquiries about my educational background, even though this information was in my application. I was then informed that a Bachelor's degree is a strict requirement for the organization. In order to enhance the candidate experience, it would be beneficial for DevonWay to clearly state educational requirements in job descriptions and reconsider the sequence of technical challenges in their hiring process.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to review your experience. DevonWay strives for excellence in all areas and we apologize for the breakdown in communication. We are actively working to improve our recruiting process and appreciate your feedback.”
