I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY) in Aug 2016
Interview
Overall the interview process was very pleasant. I was more inclined to work here after the interviews. All the interviewers (engineer and non-engineer alike) are very friendly.
- Quick phone interview with the HR representative: non-technical, a few basic questions about you and why you applied for this job. This took less than 15 minutes.
- Phone interview with an engineer: white board coding exercise in any language you choose. Depends on your solution, you may be asked on how you can optimize the code. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most difficult, this exercise' difficulty level is about 3.
- On site interview consists of three parts:
1. Coding exercise with engineer in any language you choose. The exercise's difficulty level is about 4.
2. Architecture exercise with engineer and manager. The exercise's difficulty level is about 5.
3. Cultural fit interview with engineer and product manager.
- Final on-site interview:
1. Coding exercise with CTO. You are given a code snippet, and you need to explain what the code does.
2. Interview with a non-engineer. This is more of a cultural fit interview.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
First call was with a senior engineer asking HR questions? Code signal assessment afterwards which asked you to do a lot in under 90 mins. Using map of maps, sorting, lots of tedious things. You have to finish each question in order (no skipping around). Did not even have to decency to send an automated rejection email. Just ghosted me after. Don’t waste your time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Justworks in Jan 2026
Interview
1. Recruiter Call
2. Online Assessment
3. Hiring Manager Call
4. ~4 hour Onsite
It was lengthy, and honestly I feel if you are going to have a long interview process, then you might as well split the 4 hour interview into multiple days, and make it online, with a shorter onsite.

Question 1
Typical Behavioral Questions
For the tech questions, they're pretty easy, dont overthink it. I feel nerves will play a bigger factor than difficulty.
