I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Podium in Nov 2018
Interview
The process took forever. The recruiter that texted me was very unresponsive and didn't know who I was half the time I contacted him. It took quite a while to move through each step of the process. If that was indicative of how things are run here it makes me wonder if management is very organized.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They have a couple of coding challenges, the first is more of a test format that is timed and the second is more of a project.
First interviewer was Director level and they had clearly not read my resume prior to the interview. They thought I had a different background than was on my resume.
Second interviewer was clearly prejudiced towards my cultural background. They also did not know for which position or group I was interviewing for.
The company expected me to spend several hours preparing yet they did not prepare at all.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Podium (Lehi, UT) in Mar 2023
Interview
First call with recruiter/hiring manager, then assuming that goes well you go to the first round. First round was a system design which was right out of the early 2000s and something that may sound simple, but was more complicated due to the lack of information.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
System design question had 2 boxes with a database in the center. The arrows between the 3 all pointed right, implying [App] -> [DB] -> [3rd] party service was how this system was supposed to work. The assumed ask was for an application to write to a DB, describe how the database would make a call to a 3rd party service to get a UUID and Body. It was made clear you have no control over [App] which writes to the database, only the database and whatever service would call the 3rd party service.
