Foundry Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Foundry.

Interview

The first interview was in their office in Venice Beach. It has a small but relaxed feel. The interview was about twenty minutes long and very simple. The company is based out of London, so the second interview was over Skype from the Venice office. The office has a gate in front of it and is tucked in a courtyard with a few other offices, so it can be hard to find. Everyone that interviewed me was very kind and professional, and it was an overall good experience. They asked you to go over your resume a little, why you are interested in their company, why you feel you would be a good fit, if you had sales and marketing experience, and if you could use salesforce. Afterwords they administered a Salesforce test, which was a step by step list of simple tasks. I had never used Salesforce before and found it very easy. The position requires data entry and office upkeep, as well as supporting the sales staff.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Foundry (Venice, CA (US)) in August 2014.

Interview

Interview process was three fold: A phone interview with the local Sales Administrator, followed by an in-person meeting, finally an interview via Skype with the Sales Manager, based in London. Interviews were casual, informal, more conversational. They look for the right cultural fit; will train on specifics. Doing your homework on the company history and products is appreciated.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Foundry.

Interview

First an initial phone interview about me, my past work history and also about what I know about foundry and their products, have I used any of their products before etc.

Then an onsite interview with a section on python code where you read a script and tell them what its supposed to do. Secondly, a QA test where you inspect their software and have to find as many bugs as you can.

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Foundry in March 2020.

Interview

Had a phone screen and a few zoom calls, (both zoom calls the interviewers joked about HR's inability to do technical tests, not a good look even if it is true.). All the people were super friendly the technical test was emailed was simple enough (under NDA) but the feedback was was verging on nonsense, some of it was to do with code style, and other parts were my own code comments reworded. They missed there own timelines repeatedly, 'we'll contact you this week...'

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Foundry (London, England) in October 2019.

Interview

Applied online. HR call the next day. Additionally to HR questions a few C++ related questions.
A week later I had a call with Lead Engineer. That seemed to go well, thus I had a 2-hour meeting with other engineers. A lot of C++ related questions: virtual functions, implicit constructors, etc.
A few days later had a call with HR, it seemed to go well and they promised to come back in a few days. I followed up by email, but no response. Very unprofessional.

I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Foundry (London, England) in March 2018.

Interview

I applied online and I got contacted via email a couple of months later. I got interviewed for a role slightly different than the one I applied (they thought I'd be a good fit for it) and I did not get it as it had greater requirements in terms of Python scripting. However I was interviewed a few weeks later for the role I originally applied for, as I believe that they were keen on my skills and experience. Overall the interview difficulty was greater than average as there was a Python test, a small test on algorithmic knowledge and a practical QA exercise (black box testing) which proved interesting. This experience overall was more difficult as this type of company is pretty much in top-form so naturally they would recruit much more talented people. Afterwards they were quite prompt in providing some feedback and I was fortunate enough to have been made an offer, which I accepted.

The second interview was in the office in London, they gave me a visit of the office (which is really nice), explained every teams etc. After this I had the technical interview, my experiences, a technical test and some questions about how should I handle some cases.

Interview

Got contacted via LinkedIn. After two positive video calls, (introduction to Foundry + tech call with the lead dev and a peer) I went to their office in London for an on-site interview. I found very warm and welcoming people in there, from the beginning to the end. After a short tour of the office (nice office really) arrives the technical interview. 2 steps: first there's a written short test with a few question related to the position's tech stack and project. But it's nothing formal, just a base for further discussion with the dev lead and another dev. Then comes the "behavior and culture" interview with the same people on topics such as your background or your past failures for example. Also I had the opportunity to get answers to all my questions before we ran out of time. Tech and culture interviews together lasted for a bit more than 2hours. Then we went out for a coffee so I could see the area and close the interview in a very relax way talking about the benefit package and general details. Overall this was a very nice experience and my contact within the company was very reactive and flexible.
