      Software Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Mateo, CA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Point (San Mateo, CA) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      Went through Triplebyte but it was a phone screen with Eddie the CEO / acting engineering manager and then the onsite. The onsite was system design with Eddie, then live coding, then lunch with 2 non-engineers, then whiteboard coding, then discussion with PM, then a discussion with the other co-founder, and finally another discussion with Eddie.

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Point in Dec 2022

      Interview

      Extremely unprofessional set of people at the company. They repeatedly reach out through LinkedIn and email and maybe even through Venmo if they find it. Had a brief introductory call with the first recruiter and then he will forward you to another recruiter (??). And then they both ghost without giving you any response. It's as if like the first recruiter is useless and he needs to rely on the second one. I hope the company has some respect towards candidate's time. Their pay is terrible to Bay area standards. That explains their quality of the recruiting team too.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Only if there ever was an interview. Ghosting recruiters do not yield interview questions.
