      Python Developer Interview

      19 Jan 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Remote, OR
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zyte (Remote, OR) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      After filing my CV and code sample I received an automated email telling that I will be contacted. About 10 days past a pleasant guy from the company emailed me the specs for a trial project with a few hints based on my sample code review (a neat touch!). It took me about 2 calendar days (or about 11 hours of pure working time) to accomplish, a few days to receive confirmation and a couple weeks later I've received a somewhat scripted reply from HR (I suppose) that my results were correct, but the code quality (styling mostly) is not high enough to progress further. She also attached a review (which is good!). I wouldn't lie about the difficulty of the trial - the task itself is easy to accomplish, but difficult to do it right. Code styling requirements are very high, PEP8 has to be followed to the letter, Zen of Python and latest Python 3 conventions are a must. Negative impressions: pretty slow-paced communication and one email completely ignored by a woman from (supposedly) HR. Actually it was the only email I sent to her. Positive impressions: generic attitude (especially of the first person I contacted with), a great thoughtfulness and thorough attention to details in everything - from hiring process to the code and workflow (I took a peek at their public repositories and bugtracker). I think it's a good company to work at, definitely worth a try.

      Thanks for your feedback on our hiring process. At Scrapinghub we strive hard to improve the overall applicant experience and we will definitely work on your feedback. Given the fact that our software is developed, delivered and maintained by geographically distant teams, it is important that it adheres to certain core tenets of Python's philosophy. While we don't enforce PEP8 in it's entirety, there are certain code conventions which aid both readability and robustness and it's these that we look for in trial submissions. Our engineers with real world spider development experience vet each submission and try to provide constructive feedback at every opportunity. We also acknowledge that candidates are completing the trials in their own time and to give some recognition to this, in January 2019 Scrapinghub has launched a Give back program where we donate to a charity in recognition of the investment of time given by external candidates to our technical trial screening process. The charity is selected by our own staff. This reflects our companies global nature and reach. For every trial undertaken by an external candidate we will donate $25 to the chosen charity. Thank you for your comments. Angela Piper Head of Human Resources
