During my onsite interview, the engineers I met were awesome, but their HR department was unprofessional. The HR representative started the day with "we are going to test your technical skills first, and if you do poorly, we will ask you to leave early as to not waste our time". After the onsite interview, it was weeks before Skillz finally provided an update .. via an automated message. This is the only time in my life that I received an automated rejection email after an onsite interview where I met the team ... this really shows how much they care about people.
Very basic questions, but too many interview rounds (cannot recount how many...cut them short as it was so long, found something else). Mandatory RTO. Be aware of the toxic culture (can be felt within the process and awkward silence when asked about it).
Advice: Read review on Glassdoor before even wasting your time applying.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic code base question (more "out of university" basic question), more experimented dev might need to polish on old design system and naming for the interview.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Skillz in Dec 2023
Interview
During one of the calls, I asked for a salary range but wasn't given one. That came off as strange to me as it felt like it was purposely being hidden.
For the coding part, it was multiple different files, each a different question, containing "bad code" or incomplete code that had to be fixed.
phone with recruiter -> partnered coding with dev mostly on multithreading (Java only) -> behavioral round with a manager. Took a month+ to get result which ended with a rejections
