First is phone interview with HR, then video chat with team lead and got a take home challenge after. Didn’t make it after take home challenge. Overall experience was smooth and welcoming
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Axiom Zen (Remote, OR) in Jul 2019
Interview
A recruiter connects me. The phone interview was great, so I feel this would be a great team to join in, however, after the phone interview. There is a coding assignment, and I spent a few hours to finish.
First, the Zenhub team disrespects the interviewer and themselves for no response of the submit after almost two weeks with my checking email even if they held the word 'will get back to you later THIS week.' It would be reasonable not to get back for a normal interviewing process, but for a coding challenge, which is worth more than 1000 dollars under my current rate, it is unacceptable for no feedback.
Second, I finally got feedback from the recruiter, say, I am a NO with my skillset. It does not make sense since I built some services now under using by 160 million users and some others for data streaming of a few thousand records each second with my skillset. Now they told the recruiter I am a NO for it.
So, thinking about it, for both their culture and technics, and choose wisely.
I applied online. I interviewed at Axiom Zen in Feb 2016
Interview
My phone screen was terrible. The interviewer was extremely unprofessional and rude, and seemed to resent having to conduct the interview. He jumped right into the question, and basically ignored my attempts to talk through it with him. I'm pretty confident he was not paying attention and browsing the internet. The phone screen was conducted in an online co-operative Javascript editor.
I never heard back from them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
People are arranged in a circle, and a shooter goes around the circle several times, killing every second living person, until there is one person left alive. Where do you position yourself in the circle so that you're the person left alive?
