      Software Engineering Manager Interview

      29 Aug 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Collage.com (London, England) in Aug 2018

      Interview

      - Step 1 (passed): live coding exercise in vanilla javascript where you have to call an endpoint asynchronously and process the responses depending on the response times. This wasn't difficult and the engineer in front of me was all nice and polite. It was just made pretty obvious from the beginning that we were there to check my JS skills, not my personality nor to discuss the role in itself - Step 2 (passed): "management" interview with very classical questions about difficulties I've encountered with previous management situations, my leadership style, etc. No particular difficulty there if you know your pitch and have a few things to tell about what you've done so far. - Step 3 (failed): Javascript (again...) project to complete in 4 hours. My solution was working and 100% of the requirements were met. I received an automated email 1 day later from "no-reply" saying my application was rejected. No explanation, no feedback whatsoever. - Step 4: interview with a founder - Step 5: interview with an engineer of the team Conclusion: Avoid. Their process is just rude. Even if you're a top-notch JS developer and you're taken, do you really want to lose your time with people that are so much careless about other humans that they can't take 5 minutes to give you feedback after a failed interview?... High salary is a lure there.

      Thank you for submitting your feedback. I am sorry that you had a negative experience interviewing with us. We are aware that our communication and feedback loops in the interview process have not been the best and are looking at how we can improve this. We are a lean start-up and have never had a dedicated recruitment team. Everyone has done their best to manage recruitment in addition to their full-time roles but it has admittedly not been perfect. This has been acknowledged, and we now have a dedicated recruitment team who will be thinking about candidate experience every day and doing our best to ensure no candidate feels their time was disrespected or wasted. We will incorporate your feedback into our ongoing improvements. Thank you! -Emma, Head of Talent Acquisition
