I was introduced to SiteCompli via Hired.com.
They reached out to me to set up an initial phone screen followed by a phone interview with the manager for the position.
After the phone interview I was asked to come into the office for an on-site interview.
In the office I had 4 interviews over 3 hours.
The first two were technical interviews. The first one was general questions about my technical background. The second interview was more specific technical questions, where they showed me the basic wiring of an app and asked me questions about how I would go about building different parts of the app. The questions were from all parts of the stack, from structuring SQL queries on the back end to making Ajax calls on the front end.
The next interview was with the product team and resolved mostly around company practices, and the fourth was with the manager for the job and it was mostly about the company, what it's like to work there, the benefits, etc.
What impressed me the most about the interview process was how open everyone was, it seemed like we spent as much time with them telling me about the company as I spent telling them about myself. I left the interview learning more about SiteCompli than I had about any other company I ever interviewed with.
About a week after the interview the hiring manager called me to let me know they wouldn't be moving forward, though she made it a point to tell me that the teams had a great time talking to me, and they hoped I would stay in touch regarding future openings.
I appreciated that touch as well. She easily could have just sent me a canned rejection email like most other companies, that would have been a lot easier and less awkward, yet she took the time and effort to call and make me feel good about it.
I have to admit this was one of the best rejections I got, and I look forward to hopefully dealing with them again next time I'll be looking for a job.
