Merkle Software Engineer interview questions

The process starts with a take-home task of sorts. The task involves something relatively simple, but does require setting up the frontend, backend, and a database, as well as having all of this hosted yourself. To this end, the emphasis was on fullstack skills. I personally think this was a bit too much, and a template that challenged the interviewee to "fill in" or add to said template would have achieved the same thing. If accepted, you will move to the in-person interview stage, which will start with a tour of the building, followed by a couple of in-person interviews. They were both technical in nature, and again focused on the entire stack. The questions were not terribly difficult, with on one question that I struggled with. The only downside is that even after an onsite interview, I was not contacted whatsoever, even just to give a notification that I was not selected. Even under the most relaxed business etiquette, I feel that this was extremely unprofessional, and stops me from considering working there, though the company itself seems to be worth consideration otherwise.

1 Telephonic interview. It was mainly technical with questions from previous projects and experience. More emphasis was on Databases and Java. Questions were very basic like SQL queries, joins, indexes, and small database design. Also questions on generics, hash tables, and arraylists from Java.
