Entretien
I got an initial coding assessment as a 10 question multiple choice quiz and 3 coding challenges, easy, medium, and hard.
That was followed up by a phone screen with an engineering manager who asked about my past experience and why I chose Podium. He explained more about the company and took time to answer my questions at the end.
After the phone screen they gave me a frontend heavy take-home challenge that I had 3 days to complete.
They reached out after my submission to set up an onsite interview. I had 3 interviews, one where I reviewed my take home challenge with 2 engineers where they asked me a variety of questions about my project and then asked me to add on a specific feature which we did for the last half of the interview. They second interview was with an engineer and product designer who asked behavioral and design questions. And the final interview was with an engineering manager who asked me some behavioral and career trajectory questions. All the interviewers were very nice and non-intimidating.
The final step was a phone call with the CTO who said they would like to extend an offer, talked about his experience and perspective of the company, and asked if I had any questions.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Tell me about an experience where you disagreed with someone you worked with and how you handled the situation.
First interviewer was Director level and they had clearly not read my resume prior to the interview. They thought I had a different background than was on my resume.
Second interviewer was clearly prejudiced towards my cultural background. They also did not know for which position or group I was interviewing for.
The company expected me to spend several hours preparing yet they did not prepare at all.

First call with recruiter/hiring manager, then assuming that goes well you go to the first round. First round was a system design which was right out of the early 2000s and something that may sound simple, but was more complicated due to the lack of information.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
System design question had 2 boxes with a database in the center. The arrows between the 3 all pointed right, implying [App] -> [DB] -> [3rd] party service was how this system was supposed to work. The assumed ask was for an application to write to a DB, describe how the database would make a call to a 3rd party service to get a UUID and Body. It was made clear you have no control over [App] which writes to the database, only the database and whatever service would call the 3rd party service.
