      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      I interviewed at Tropic

      Interview

      Genuinely enjoyable, but neurodivergent applicants beware. Process: 1. 15 minute with screener who seemed genuinely rushed and asked questions that made it seem as though they didn't look at my resume. 2. Meet with the CTO who is very kind-hearted and good-natured. 3. An assessment which is pretty typical for their software stack; no puzzles here. 4. Review with two engs. 5. Decision. During my screener I had disclosed I was neurodivergent (this has never been a problem in employment or hiring-past) and the screener seemed accepting. Upon learning I was a no-hire "your technical interview went great and we're sure you're a great engineer but" I was made aware that I should have disclosed my neurodivergence during each interview stage. Normally this is documented by the screener so that the interviewer doesn't have to go through the awkward part. This was gravely disappointing.

      Thank you for your feedback! We pride ourselves on an inclusive, accepting, and accommodating work environment and culture for all our employees and candidates, and are always looking for ways to improve. We are glad to hear that your experience with the CTO and overall interview experience was positive. After you initially reached out, we did an internal investigation over the last two days. We can assure you that we did not make a hiring decision based on you being a neurodivergent candidate as outlined in our structure attribute-based scorecards. As you mentioned, we include other teams and crossfunctional members to further assess potential team chemistry, work style, communication style, etc.- because these factors are equally as important as someone’s technical abilities. That being said, we have a very high bar and only extend offers to individuals who excel across all of the attributes being assessed, not just their technical ability. How someone speaks about others, especially past employers and coworkers, the language they choose to use, and how they will be able to add to our culture are extremely important to us. Making crude and disparaging comments, and using excessive profanity when discussing coworkers does not align with our company values. We have put a lot of effort into creating an inclusive culture where everyone supports each other, and we will do whatever it takes to protect that, including making a difficult hiring decision. Thank you again for reaching out to us and providing your input as we do want to ensure that all candidates are treated with respect and assessed fairly. We wish you the best! - Head of Talent

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tropic in Jan 2023

      Interview

      Recruiter screen Hiring manager screen. Take-home assessment. Tech interview to discuss the take-home assessment. PM interview (kind of a cultural-fit style). Overall one of the best interview experiences I've had. All interviewers were very welcoming, and the process was fast and smooth.

      Question 1

      A take home assessment using their tech stack (the newest Rails stuff for backend and frontend).
