I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TriumphPay
Interview
Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and scheduled me for a phone screener over a week in advance. The day of, I received a message 30 minutes before the screener from the recruiter saying they had too many candidates and needed to get through interviews but that they would keep me on the list to reschedule if needed. This is extremely unprofessional, it showed a lack of respect for my time, and disorganization within the recruitment process. It’s a total red flag for a company to treat candidates this way.
The process seems normal at first: recruiter screen then chat with a manager. It takes a turn at the coding assessment, which is by far the strangest and most difficult. There is zero collaboration, the interviewer will even turn off their camera. I believe this is more of a psychological test than a coding one, because the only tests you need to get passing are the end result of a lot of work. There are no tests along the way like you would actually write when working. So it feels very pass or fail and an intentional stress point while you are working on the solution.

Question 1
As others have stated here already, the coding interview portion was related to Sudoku. I assumed it would be writing some code to validate a board, but you will need to also write code that attempts to solve the board as well.
There was a phone screening with HR, then a formal phone interview. Next was a panel interview with 4 people. After that, I was waiting for a final interview with the vp, and they ended up flying me in for the final interview and then to meet with the team to get a feel for the culture. All in all, it was about a 6 week process.
