      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Close (Warsaw, Masovia) in Jul 2022

      Interview

      One hour initial call with discussion of past experience, description of the role, etc. Note that the interview will be recorded. Whenever I have had to decline an offer of employment from a company, I have always explained the reason in my reply - whether I because I had already accepted another offer, because I could not give the commitment in extra hours that looked likely to be required, or (once) for ethical reasons. When I do not get an offer, I expect (and have almost always received) the same in return. Be aware before you invest any time in applying for a position with this company that they do not extend the same courtesy or respect to those they interview: no feedback, no explanation. I would not recommend it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The main evaluation was to review some Python code as a pull request would be reviewed.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and we apologize that you had a negative experience. Since our team is small and we host all recruiting efforts internally, unfortunately we cannot provide feedback as we would only feel right about doing so if we could provide it for everyone. Sorry again and hope you understand!

      I applied online. I interviewed at Close in Aug 2024

      Interview

      Extremely clear process, spelled out in the first email: Tech screening, HR call, take home, tech interview, 2 more interviews with director/VP. Everyone I met was very nice, left time for questions, etc. Tech screening was easy. I didn't make it past the take home, which was pretty simple but I guess didn't meet their criteria.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Screening: Simple questions every dev should know and a mock code review.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Close in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Applied online. Application had a few open ended technical questions and asked about why I was interested in the position. Was given phone screen with a few technical questions and a hypothetical code review. Received a decline email the next day. I was surprised to get an immediate reject since I felt I had done ok.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions around GET and POST HTTP request headers, and CDN. Hypothetical PR with code snippet of a server and asynchronous task with a race condition, asked for feedback

      We appreciate your feedback and are so sorry you had a negative experience. We strive to be prompt with our communication and get back to candidates as soon as we have made a decision. We have a grading rubric for our technical calls so the decision is usually objectively made after the call.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Close

      Interview

      Several interviews, spanning peers, people ops and managers including both fit and technical interviews. There were exercises, but they were short and relevant. The interviews were scheduled pretty rapidly, and the overall process was quick.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There was a technical assessment that consisted of a hypothetical pull request and peer review. You were then asked to describe the comments you would give the author, and why.
