I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Root Inc. (Blue Springs, MO) in Sept 2021
Interview
Submitted application and was sent an email the next day to schedule a call with the recruiter. After call received invitation to a 30 minute interview with two managers. Completed the interview and was told they were moving fast. 10 days later I emailed for an update and was told they were not moving forward with me.
The type and amount of experience they were looking for is $10k-20k below other companies with similar positions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer
3 round process, had a recruiter round, HM round, and then they doubled up on technical(SQL)/case study. The recruiter round was probably the most interesting I’ve ever had, they asked very in depth questions and you should definitely be very prepared for it. Behavioral was normal and technical was also normal.

I applied online. I interviewed at Root Inc. in Mar 2026
Interview
Quick screening call with recruiter followed by interview with two managers. Was told would hear back but a month later have not heard back or received a rejection. One of the managers was very personable and engaging. The other was kind of short and was only partially on camera (she had her camera set up so that she was out of the frame majority of the time). It was distracting and unprofessional.
Typical interview. Very polite. Very professional. Interview went very well, but a week later they sent me an email saying they weren't going to hire me. Didn't give a reason and there was no contact whatsoever after the generic email.

Question 1
What would you do if you promised a client to respond before the end of day and you weren't allowed to stay later and didn't have any more time? (Don't remember the exact wording)
