I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Typical recruiter phone screen to tell you a little bit about the company and make sure you are sane. Followed by a technical phone screen which occurred a couple days later. I can't remember what questions they asked during the phone screen, but I don't think it was anything too tricky since I don't remember.
They then flew me out for an onsite in Seattle early the next week and paid for Hotel/Food etc. The hotel was nice enough, but almost 30 minutes away from the interview. Seemed a little far and in the opposite direction of the airport.
The people there were great and very nice. We did the interview in a lounge area instead of a conference room which I thought was very neat. They have a really cool office, with lots of games spread about, and it's in an awesome location. They also provided lunch, which they mentioned was free every day, but didn't have a whole lot of time to eat it while I was there. No biggie though. Overall atmosphere was great.
They told me it would be about a week to get back feedback, which I thought was strange given that my other offers had come within 1-2 days. I also mentioned that I had pending offers during this time. They ended up taking almost two weeks to get back to me with an offer, and I had to extend the deadline for one of my offers. In the end, the offer wasn't competitive enough. It was OK. Additionally, while the relocation bonus was great, the fact that you have to pay it back if you leave within 2 years kind of raised some red flags (I understand the want for ROI, but forcing people to pay if they're not happy after a year is a little extreme).

The recruiter told me that they had been slow in making a decision, that they will get back to me. They never got back to me.

Question 1
Tell me about a time that you made a mistake. How did you handle it?
I applied online. I interviewed at Qualtrics (Provo, UT) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview process was lengthy, consisting of more than six rounds across multiple stages. I successfully advanced through every interview and reached what I was told was the final system design round. After completing that interview, I was informed that the team still did not have enough signal on my front-end expertise and requested an additional front-end-focused system design interview.
What stood out to me was that this additional interview was conducted by an employee who stated during the interview that he was currently on paternity leave. The interview itself felt disconnected from typical front-end system design discussions and focused on a scenario that I found difficult to relate to real-world front-end engineering responsibilities. The expectations and evaluation criteria were not clear to me, making it challenging to understand what was being assessed.
After investing considerable time across more than six interview rounds and receiving positive feedback throughout the process, the late addition of another interview and the outcome of that final round left me feeling that the process lacked consistency. Overall, I found the interview experience to be much longer than expected and somewhat disjointed in its evaluation of front-end skills.
