I applied online. I interviewed at Emergent Software
Interview
The interview consisted of a ridiculous series of brain buster puzzles that included identifying shapes and colors in sequences. 90% of it had nothing to do with software engineering or how we solve real world software problems. The final question is a non-trivial algorithmic question that you have an hour to complete. There’s entire JS libraries meant to solve this problem and again it’s not representative of actual day to day work whatsoever. It’s hard to take this company seriously when they screen you on everything but your actual skill set.

Question 1
Identify the next shape in a sequence to test your “problem solving” abilities
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Emergent Software in Apr 2023
Interview
They sent an assessment link. You fill out these silly reasoning questions. One was literally if one train is traveling this direction and the other etc etc etc. Then they have a 30 min coding challenge.

Question 1
Nonsense online assessment on reasoning. Questions that you could easily train on to get very fast. Coding Challenge

Interview
Applied online, got invitation to complete online assessment. Never received the link for assessment, had to ask recruiter, they finally sent me one. The assessment requires camera on and was quite long and troublesome. After finishing, unsurprisingly, I got rejection letter few days later. No feedback, no nothing. Stay away companies that do not value your time.
