I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey (Kitchener, ON) in Feb 2021
Interview
I got reached by a SurveyMonkey recruiter in LinkedIn and after a first quick screening call I was given a list of 30+ positions to go through and select the ones I would like to start the process.
A few days after the selection of a few fitting positions there were a technical interview. It was an one hour interview with a few questions and some coding. The challenge proposed was to consume a SurveyMonkey api with the programing language I felt most comfortable.
Almost a week later I got another call from the recruiter stating I had passed the technical interview and there was a manager whiling to talk to me for a position out of the initial selection. It was a bit out of my profile, and even though I let they know that they still pushed to move forward with it.
The interview with the hiring manager was fine. No hard questions and just an easy and simple computer science problem.
The end.
You might be asking "how's that the end?", that's simple: I got ghosted after that. Even after trying following up two weeks later I never got a response from the recruiter. I probably won't blame the entire company, but this quite frustrating and shows a bit how unprofessional some recruiters can be.
Good luck!
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey in Oct 2025
Interview
I applied online, scheduled interview with technical recruiter. It was cancelled several times and finally interviewed with him and moved to the next round. I spent 3 hours interviewing with 2 team members of Project Manager in that panel interview. After that I was scheduled a final interview with direct of enginering. But suddenly it was cancelled. I reached out the recruiter what happened and she replied they will back with scheduled time by EOD. And then they went ghosted. I reached out them several times requesting the current status but No reply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Did you have any contrasting opinions with the stakeholders?
I applied online. I interviewed at SurveyMonkey (San Jose, San Jose) in Jan 2025
Interview
An extremely lengthy, exhausting process with no consideration for the candidate.
The process was:
- Initial approach with Human Resources
- Technical interview: 1 hour
- Programming test (Lasts 8 hours)
- Technical interviews (two technical interviews and one with Human Resources)
The technical interviews last around 2 hours each
The HR interview lasts 1 hour
At the end of the entire process, they rejected me. When I asked them why, they told me they didn't feel I had enough experience in microservices.
This bothers me, since they could see from day one on my resume that I had only a few months of experience in this area, and I told them this repeatedly.
I found it extremely disrespectful to make someone go through this long and arduous process, only to be rejected because of something they could see from the start.
