Had first general call with recruiter. Afterward I was asked to complete take home project modeling a backend for the company. Completed, then told did not get a job with zero reasoning as to why
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Root Inc.
Interview
There were four phases:
1) Informal screening with a recruiter.
2) Takehome problem to do on my own time in a language of my choice
3) Technical round interview where they asked me higher level questions about classes/methods/databases
4) Full day session with 1/2 day editing my original coding sample I submitted where they asked to add features and 1/2 day where they asked me to diagram web architecture.
Overall, it was very thorough and allowed me to show off all of my strengths.
The first phone interview was generic, non-technical.
Recruiter would ask about previous background, and introduce the company.
At the end of interview, recruiter send a link of a take-home project (there is no deadline).
