The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Justworks
Interview
Most assuredly the most unorganized, inefficient and overall frustrating interview experience of my career to date. JustWorks severely lacks structure to its interview process and is iterative of the challenges they are having to scale their business model. HR doesn't seem to be involved much in the process and this causes a huge chasm in communication within the business units. A lot of time and resources are wasted in a process that is not clearly defined. The candidate experience seems to be in decline and this is why I turned down the offer presented, as the candidate experience is a purview into the employee experience, one which I do not want to have and will be sharing this experience with my engineer network.

We're sorry that you found the process that way. We expect our interview process to be transparent and streamlined, and are constantly working to keep it that way. Feedback like this is helpful as we continue to better our process.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
First call was with a senior engineer asking HR questions? Code signal assessment afterwards which asked you to do a lot in under 90 mins. Using map of maps, sorting, lots of tedious things. You have to finish each question in order (no skipping around). Did not even have to decency to send an automated rejection email. Just ghosted me after. Don’t waste your time.

Interview
1. Recruiter Call
2. Online Assessment
3. Hiring Manager Call
4. ~4 hour Onsite
It was lengthy, and honestly I feel if you are going to have a long interview process, then you might as well split the 4 hour interview into multiple days, and make it online, with a shorter onsite.

Typical Behavioral Questions
For the tech questions, they're pretty easy, dont overthink it. I feel nerves will play a bigger factor than difficulty.
