A phone call to get to know the company, a technical phone call, and a phone call to discuss the position further, and a coding challenge on hackerrank that tested basic coding ability and SQL knowledge.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BambooHR in Jul 2021
Interview
It was very streamlined, a great experience! I filled out the application and it took a few days to hear back. I completed a HackerRank challenge as part of it.
I talked with a recruiter about the role and he sold me on the culture and company future.
After that I talked with an engineering manager and he sold me on the type of work, team structures, and was excellent in answering any questions I had on what I might be doing.
From there it was a two-part interview. It was two hours long, broken into 1 hour chunks. Each chunk had two engineers interviewing me. It sounds stressful, but it really wasn't. They had questions they needed to ask, but it did feel more casual and I never felt like they were trying to trip me up.
After that it didn't take long to hear back and start talking salary, start date, etc...
