I applied through other source. I interviewed at Ribbon Home (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
I was given a 10-15 minute initial phone screen with the internal recruiter, expecting to get details on the next round of the interview. Instead, I received a generic rejection email saying it wasn't a "mutual fit". When asking for feedback, I was ghosted.
Hard to believe they were able to accurately judge a candidate based on a 10-minute conversation. I was perfectly pleasant and excited about the opportunity, with a skill set that matched up very well with the role. I didn't even get the opportunity to show my technical abilities.
In the end, the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth. If this is any indication of the culture there, I would run far away!

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Ribbon Home (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
Overall negative experience. The process involved an initial recruiter call, intro call to the hiring manager/tech lead, a code-pairing exercise, and then super day (broken into a systems design portion, code-along in respective language/framework and business model thought exercise).
The recruiting team scheduled two intro calls with hiring managers by mistake. (Fine, mistakes happen. Happy to chat with more team members) Communication with also pretty sparse throughout.
Didn't hear back from them for almost 3 weeks after the last interview, and only because I reached to confirm I was no longer under consideration. I absolutely agree and understand their decision however, after asking for 6ish of my hours for the process, a simple email would have been appreciated, as opposed to complete silence.
