I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tamarac (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Their interview process was great, to a point. The first part of the interview process was submitting the answers to 10 written questions. That part was great, gives the company an opportunity to see how a candidate presents written information, and their overall grammar, etc. Second interview was a phone interview with high level discussion about how the engineering department operates and some high level tech questions. Third interview was with one of the VPs. The fourth interview is where it went wrong. I was asked to answer two leet code questions, and nothing else. I wasn't asked to model any classes. Not one question on C#, SQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript or TypeScript. They assessed my entire technical ability on two leet code questions. I did "ok" answering the leet code questions, but honestly, when asked to write a LIFO on top of a FIFO, I began questioning how this company writes software.

Was contacted by a recruiter, submitted my resume, and then quickly scheduled for an in-person interview. Beginning of interview started with some whiteboard questions with a manager and additional technical questions, skills, and background discussion. Second interview was with some developers and focused on more technical and difficult questions with analyzing code and writing code on a whiteboard. Final interview was a short discussion with another manager focused on answering any questions about the position and the company. Received notice following day with a verbal offer, and a formal offer a few days later.
