First Round: Online quiz: pretty easy, very intuitive questions. Different languages, but concepts are language-agnostic.
Second Round: Onsite (I live close by). One OOP coding question, Lightning round of very basic college CS concepts, and debugging session.
First Round Matches: The company tries to match you with 10 companies; I got 5. All the companies were either YC or top-vc funded. I received responses from 3 companies; the startups move very quickly -- onsite within a week. However, I've interviewed with 2 of the 3. Did not get an offer from either (qualification and mismatch in culture-fit).
PROS:
- The team moves VERY fast when it comes to companies (really tough to think of PTO excuses)
- Responsive - each candidate is assigned to a single talent manager
- After the initial matches did not fit my liking or yield any results, my talent manager immediately started looking for new matches.
CONS:
- Initial matches were not what I was looking for/interested in. (hopefully being fixed).
So far, the experience has been positive. Personally, the lack of stress of finding places to submit to is a huge plus.
Yep signing up more companies to work with is how we can improve the likelihood we'll find enough matches that are both a technical skills fit and interest fit for every candidate. That's what we're working towards.
