      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sprout Social (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      I met a recruiter at an on-campus recruiting event. After giving them my resume the same recruiter reached out to me about a mobile development position at Sprout. She scheduled a phone interview to speak with me about my skills and told me some general stuff about the company. After making it past the first round, I was scheduled to speak with their VP of engineering. Again, mostly telling me about Sprout and trying to gauge my skills and interest in the position. About a day after the interview with the VP of engineering, their recruiter sends me a coding challenge to be completed within a week's time. The challenge basically wanted me to create an iOS app that pulls data from Twitter's API and displays it based on their design mockups. All in all it was not a very difficult challenge. But I'm also a student, so finding time to work on it was a bit difficult and I ended up taking an extra day. The recruiter didn't seem to mind, and after working out some bugs I sent them my final version of the challenge. About a week went by and I didn’t heard anything. A few more days go by, and I decided to send the recruiter an email about the status of my interview. Another week goes by, still no email. A few days later I reached out a second time concerning the status of the interview. Still nothing. In total, it’s been two and a half weeks since I submitted my coding challenge, I have sent two follow up emails, and I still haven’t heard anything back. I can only assume this means I didn’t get the position. I find it quite unprofessional that I didn’t even receive a simple “thanks, but we’re not interested at this time yada yada yada” email. Especially considering that I sunk a decent chunk of time into making the app for them. I would have at least liked to hear feedback on my code, which admittedly wasn’t great but like I said I’m a student and time was a factor. Needless to say I’m pretty disappointed with this one. This entire thing was a pretty big waste of my time, so unless you want to waste some of your own I would avoid these guys.
