Easy interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Back Market (Oakland, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
The interview consisted of behavioral questions, a single LeetCode coding problem, and several questions about the company’s background and values. It was conducted in one session, testing both technical and soft skills comprehensively.

I applied online. I interviewed at Back Market (New York, NY) in Apr 2021
Interview
I first had a HR phone screen, and then I had a few days to complete a small test and send the answer back. I submitted my answer and I was rejected because "the code lacked documentation and was not divided into several functions".
I found this a ridiculous passing criteria given that it was only a Leetcode question. I think that the company has little to no experience in interviewing software engineers using LC style questions, and that they tried to invent arbitrary criteria to appear more selective.
Hi! Sorry about your bad experience with our recruiting process. We'll make sure to communicate the feedback internally and improve our interview pannel & tests! Thanks.
