I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Born Group (New York, NY) in Feb 2024
Interview
BORN first reached out through a recruiter on LinkedIn. They did not offer a job posting, and the job I ended up interviewing for was not what they described in the LinkedIn message.
I had given the first recruiter on LinkedIn my resume, but it was not given to the senior recruiter who conducted my phone screening.
When I was finally told that I was being interviewed for a different position than was initially discussed, I asked for an official job posting and still was not given one. The recruiter then failed to sufficiently answer any questions I asked about the technical requirements of the team or the culture of the company as a whole.
After not giving any information about the requirements of the position, they then asked me what my expected salary would be. When I asked what the offered range was, I was told that the recruiter did not have that information.
Overall, the experience was unpleasant and the general impression given was rushed, sloppy, and unprofessional.
First is a phone interview that lasts for 30 minutes, assessing English and communication skills.
Then a Technical Exam, live coding with a developer.
Team Interview to see if fit with team
Project Manager Interview to talk about behavioral things

Interview
The first step in the interview process is usually an initial screening. This may involve a phone interview or an online assessment to evaluate the candidate's basic qualifications, skills, and suitability for the role. The screening typically includes questions about the candidate's experience, education, and relevant skills. It is also an opportunity for the candidate to learn more about the position and the company.
