Remote's interview process was scattered, pointless and disrespectful of my time. It started with a take-home that was a standard technical problem on its own - wrapping a third-party endpoint - but with vague instructions to "productionize" it. Following these instructions - e.g., with validations, unit tests and caching - made the take-home quite time-consuming as compared to other take-homes, particularly for a first-round screen. The time invested really felt wasted when I took the follow-up Google Meet interview; the interviewer did not go over my code at all, but rather used the Dockerfile as a point of departure for a generic interview on CI/CD and K8s. The next day, I got a generic rejection email from the recruiter with no context. Honestly, the whole thing felt like a waste of time. The could easily skip the take-home completely and just do the screen on CI/CD and containerization, since that is what they seemed to be testing for.

Question 1
A take-home with fairly open instructions, followed by a Google Meet interview. The idea was to write a service to wrap a third-party endpoint in a way that was "productionized". This was open to the candidate, but could include validations, unit tests and consideration for performance. The follow-up interview seemed scattered and kind of pointless. It mainly used the Dockerfile as a point of departure to talk about CI/CD, containerization and K8s. It did not really feel like the interviewer had read my code - he asked zero questions on the code itself.

Interview
The interviewers were great! Very friendly, and the interviews felt adequately challenging, not too hard or too easy. What made the process awful was the recruiter communication. I've been on an email thread with two recruiters and yet I still haven't gotten a response after doing 4 interviews. After I completed the first interview it took them 2 weeks to respond to me.

Interview
My interview experience with Grow Therapy was one of the best I’ve had. The process was smooth, professional, and genuinely pleasant from start to finish. Everyone I met was sharp, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about mental health. The questions asked were direct, meaningful, and came with clear context — I always understood what they were trying to assess. The recruiter was responsive and efficient in setting up interviews, making the entire process seamless. I'm happy to say the team enjoyed meeting me too, and I received and accepted an offer. Highly recommend the experience!

Overall, the interview process is fair. The problems are not too hard, and everyone I talked to was nice. I got to the final round, and at the end I had one problem that I didn't solved -- correctly I might add... however after I realized there was an easier way to complete it. I think this is the interview where they decided not to proceed. However... 1. I did in fact get the problem with the same time complexity and 2. to confirm that was true, I asked for interview feedback... with the answer "It's company policy to not provide feedback" which honestly enraged me. Mostly because I had put a ton of time in to the entire process, as well as a 3 hour take home interview. I really wanted this job. I thought everyone I spoke to was upstanding. However, I'm really disappointed on how they handled this, and unfortunately.. due to this.. I would not recommend this interview process to anyone.
