I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UKG in Feb 2024
Interview
applied on career site, got an initial phone screen and 2 tech rounds consists of tech domain questions and db stuff... But the recruiter throughout this process was so not doing the job right, when phone screening the recruiter does not have my profile handy and is missing lots of information as if it didn't matter. Then following interviews were scheduled in a rush without much heads up. Note I had to followup with the recruiter to know when my interviews are, when recruiter said I'll get notified. And after a week or so of the tech interviews, I followed up to check on status and was told i will get a call tomorrow. Then proceeded to ghost and no call about it. Until few days after, which I tried following up but ghosted, i was told they called and left a message but I didn't receive anything? So they probably got the wrong number... somehow when it's on my resume and profile. It's so jokes that UKG is an hr software company but the HR side can't perform hr responsibilities nor stay professional.
First a chat with the recruiter, followed by an hour technical screen, followed by an onsite where I talked to the hiring manager and two members of the team. Everyone in the process was very nice but I ultimately did not get the job.
Part of the first round was a technical test through HackerRank. The questions consisted of four multiple-choice questions and two coding questions. Typically based on Algorithms and Data Structures. You get a few days to prepare, and if you need an extension, you can ask. But be aware that the sooner you turn it in, the sooner you can get reviewed, and they don't have infinite time to provide.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I didn't get any behavioral questions, but for HackerRank, one of the questions consisted of multiple choice in deciding which sort method was best, given a situation.
Phone
Panel interview with 3 developers of varying levels. Was informed I wasn’t gonna pass the interview about 2 weeks after the interview. Overall very friendly and passionate developers who knew their stuff and asked challenging questions.
