Alkami Technology interview questions

It was a 3 hour in person process spread across 5 meetings and 8-10 people. It is just the basic questions about yourself and experience. They also ask some basic Scrum questions about Scrum and agile.

Recruiter reached out, followed by phone screen with a software development manager a few days later, followed by a 3 hour long in-person interview a few days later. The 3 hour long interview process was broken down into 4 different interviews: The first interview consisted of meeting with several members of the team I would be working with (asked about background and then technical whiteboarding questions), followed by an interview with the CTO (soft-skills and past experience questions), followed by an interview with more team members (had to discuss my background again followed by more technical whiteboarding questions), and another interview with the team's QA, Scrum Master, and Product Owner (had to discuss my background again followed by soft-skills and past experience questions). The technical questions we're all algorithm based and required writing full C# programs on the whiteboard. I personally would never waste mine or the potential candidates time having to write out C# on the whiteboard but to each their own. I would also not use all algorithm based questions but instead would use one algorithm-based question and one 30-minute architectural and conversational style question where you ask the candidate to talk through building a system from front to back and then ask supportive and deeper probing questions as the candidate reaches key points in the system design to hone in on the candidate's strengths and weaknesses. Again to each their own but their technical questions wouldn't give me a good enough impression of a candidate's actual skills if I were a hiring manager. I was not presented an offer but I'm glad because I wouldn't have went with Alkami given their large list of cons. I ultimately found another opportunity that was much better and didn't have any of the cons that Alkami has. Pros: - Competitive salary - Catered food everyday - Lots of restaraunts in the area - Seemed like a lot of smart people working there Cons: - 50 hour work weeks (I was told repeatedly by the recruiter, during the phone screen, and on-site visit that they required a minimum of 50 hour work weeks) - Work from home seems to not be an option - No 401k offered - No bonuses - No profit sharing - No commuter/toll-tag reimbursement (the building is quite literally at the intersection of two toll highways (121 and Dallas North Tollway so you will almost inevitably have to take tolls to get to work) - Dark/dim lighting throughout (some people like that) - Open floor plan (of course every business is doing this now and requires knowledge workers to wear headphones to try to drown out the noise)
