      Software Engineer Interview

      11 Jul 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Unbounce in Jul 2019

      Interview

      First was a 30 minute chat with a person from HR to go over my work history and some behavioral questions. I was then given a take home assignment on a Friday and asked to spend no more than 1-2 hours on it. The prime objective of the quiz was to see how the candidate worked with http APIs. I was given an email address to email in case I had questions but was also told that it was unmonitored over the weekend. I complete the quiz in about 2 hours making assumptions where the question was vague and submitted it on Sunday night. On Tuesday I was rejected and I asked for feedback on what I could have done differently to improve my code. This is where it gets interesting because I was told that the main reason I was rejected was lack of communication. I did not email them to tell them how I approached the problem or how I would test it. "While the assessment is meant to evaluate a candidate technically, it's also used to determine how well they communicate their thoughts, as communication is a very key aspect of this team. " Lack of communication on an unmonitored email address where the goal of the quiz was to test my technical ability - not peer programming. I was flabbergasted. This was one of the most unprofessionally conducted technical interviews I have ever done. The company themselves provided instructions for one thing and expected something completely different. I do feel like I dodged a bullet on this one.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on our interview process. To clarify, what we meant by “communication” in the feedback email we sent was in regards to documentation a candidate would provide to their team, which is unrelated to the email address that was unmonitored over the weekend. We apologize for any misunderstanding in that respect. As part of our process, after a candidate is finished with their assessment, we expect to see some level of documentation with the sort of instructions they would provide for their team. For example: instructions on how to run the code, what tests were run, or what the candidate might have done to improve the sample if they had more time. We work in a team environment where staff might encounter technical efforts later after some time and, without clear information, the team would be unable to follow their footsteps. When assessing, we want to see complete solutions that work. If candidates run out of time, they’re encouraged to outline where improvements can be made, the same as if they were working on our team. Regarding the technical assessment and its time limit, we share the email address for candidates to have a place to send questions should they run into any roadblocks or seek clarification. At the same time, we like to respect the work-life balance of our staff and we’re not expecting them to monitor it during the weekends, which is explained in our instructions. Because of this, we’re flexible with our two-hour, suggested time frame as we want to set our candidates up for success. I hope that this helps put our feedback into a clearer context.
