I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fetch in Oct 2022
Interview
Recruiter responded same day after applying online. Had to do a take home assignment which involved creating a web service that provided routes for adding transactions, spending points, and viewing point balances. Pretty relevant to the company overall which I appreciated. After that, scheduled a first round technical interview where I went over the take home assignment with two engineers. Although I did well on the assignment, they ultimately rejected me due to lack of experience -- for an "apprenticeship" position. Honestly, the interview process was fast and smooth, but the interview result made no sense. Overall a waste of time.
The interview process was highly positive and engaging. I completed a coding challenge beforehand and received an invitation for an interview. Post-interview, they offered constructive feedback, which I found valuable and appreciated.

Question 1
Before interview you have to do a coding challenge.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fetch (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Overall it was fine, It was a pretty long being around 5 hours, but it's just because they are expecting a lot out of you not just in terms of Basic software engineering but also database knowledge and system architecture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me how to develop the system architecture(Servers, databases, CDN, etc) and how to properly implement one in the imaginary company they made up for the question.
First they send you a take home project. If your project is good enough, you get an interview with an engineer going through your code; be prepared to answer production level questions. They seemed to expect a high level of experience for an apprenticeship position.
If you fail the interview, they'll give real feedback, which is appreciated.

Question 1
If you were to use a database here, would SQL or NoSQL be better?
