Fareportal Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Fareportal in January 2017.

Interview

Interview process was smooth. The scheduling of interviews were properly done. The HR recruiter seemed nice at the beginning of the process especially in scheduling but at the end of the process he showed his unprofessional behavior. First intro call with HR recruiter, then Phone interview with the manager - basic oops concept questions, design patterns/ principles questions. Then there was a final 2.5 - 3 hour Skype interview. Two sessions each consisted of 2 interviewers. Sessions included detailed programming questions, debugging strategies, string manipulation coding exercises, performance related questions, etc. All interviewers seemed nice throughout the conversation except the HR recruiter.
After this final Skype interview, I never heard back! I followed up by emailing the HR recruiter twice and by leaving him a voicemail but never got a reply from him. So unprofessional and unethical behavior by the HR recruiter. A complete waste of my time!!
On reaching out to a current employee, she said that their policies changed and are preferring only local candidates!
Having spent time in participating in the process, a simple email stating just the result without any reasons would have been enough. Rather the HR recruiter chose to completely ignore without letting me know of the result. Must be an unprofessional amateur who is unfit to be in this industry! Probably dodged a bullet as their work environment might be so unprofessional and unethical.

Everything was very basic along with the hiring process. not too difficult or not too hard either. Simple questions like challenges, experience, etc.. You really got to meet the team that you would be working with which was great, cause you could assess if you could work with them or not.

Interview

The interview itself was quite average and straightforward. I applied online via indeed, and a few weeks later I had a phone interview from HR. A few days after that I was invited to the fareportal office for an in person interview. I was asked about my experiences and interests. There wasn't any specific technical questions. It would be helpful to have a solid skills in excel, although it is possible to learn while working. It is also helpful to have an energetic attitude and genuine interest in fareportal, the office, and the people.

They were fair.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fareportal (New York, NY (US)).

Interview

Recruiter reached out to me, we had a quick 25 minute phoner and then we set up another phoner for me to talk with the CMO. CMO called late, and jeopardized the conversation with some truly puzzling questions that caused me to have some strong reservations about his leadership ability. Unfortunately, we never got to address those questions as he took up the entire appointment slot with his questions.

Quite concerning that a CMO would be asking such bizarrely inappropriate questions like "What should our budget be?" without an in-depth discussion of overall budgets, KPIs, etc. "What should our budget be?". Um, 50 gajillion dollars. How the hell is an outsider with no knowledge of the inner workings of the company supposed to answer that in a way that is meaningful and not just BS?

CMO also seemed quite arrogant. He seemed to think showing up late for an interview was no big deal, and didn't like the answers he received when he asked for an assessment of the company's current marketing.

Interview

The company appears to be toxic. Multiple employees told me (during MY interview) there's a cancerous trickle down effect from the CEO. Multiple employees also told me that if not for their immediate team, they would not be at the company. The fact that the team members were so upfront (almost in a self deprecating way) about the company's disarray was all I needed to decline their offer.

Phone interview followed by in person interview. The in-person was broken into two back-to-back sessions with members of the team.
