I applied online. I interviewed at Atlas Search in Jan 2026
Interview
First interview was basically the interviewer asking questions derived from the job description.
The interview starts with an admission of the biggest interview red flags: the meeting is recorded.
They then mentioned two of the biggest red flags:
1. Time tracking with periodic screenshots
2. Unpaid test task
They also mentioned that in the next steps, it would be helpful if I have used their questionable software.
For me these were all I needed to hear but felt freer just playing along until the end to not be rude.
Multiple interviews with multiple teams over the course of a few months, everyone was very friendly and direct. I appreciated the candidness about the difficulty of the industry and the level of questions that were asked to best match the interviewee with the correct team. I found some of the back and forth a bit tedious though.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Atlas Search (New York, NY) in Mar 2020
Interview
There were 2 rounds virtual where I met with 6 different people and then 1 final round in person where I met with 4 different people. Everyone was very friendly.
