I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alteryx
Interview
Reached out to by recruiter on LinkedIn. Both recruiters I met with were friendly. Next stage was behavioral call with hiring manager, and then following stage was 3 separate interviews consisting of: behavioral with team, technical with team and final call with hiring manager.
The technical was providing high level definitions for different programming terms (i.e. what's boxing). What struck me as odd (and 1 reason for the negative experience) was when I was asked to provide on a scale of 1-10 my expertise in C#. I feel it's a bit arrogant to respond 10 so I went with 7. The 2 interviewers weren't thrilled about that and we spent the remainder of the time discussing why 7 and not 10.
Was told I'd hear back by next business day, however was ghosted by hiring manager and recruiting team afterwards.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No coding, just high level language specific questions
Had an initial screening call with the recruiter. He was late and then admitted the company was struggling. Spent most of the interview outlining the absurd interview process. It started with a take home test, third party of course, followed by FIVE different interviews. At this point I just laughed and refused to go any further.
