Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Compass (New York, NY)
Entrevista
Applied online and went through an initial phone screen with the recruiter, who was nice enough. I was then set up with a third - party tech screening company called Karat to do a coding challenge. My interviewer was very professional and nice and the problem wasn't that challenging, but I ended up receiving a canned rejection email several days later.
I have never experienced this in many years of doing eng interviews and seriously take issue with this approach. I would stay away from any company that doesn't care about you enough to vet you 100% themselves.

Pretty chill. Three rounds of debugging, technical (leetcode), and behavioral, which was more like high-level with AI assistance. The values did not come up very much while going through the interview process.

Had us do an AI round about forms and matching things.
Debugging, technical, then behavioral. I had been given two language options for the debugging portion (Java or Python) during the phone interview then when I went to the onsite there seemed to be a miscommunication because the interview said I could use JS since I was applying as a frontend engineer. The debugging was pretty doable, the behavioral was odd but fine.
The interview process felt chaotic and poorly organized. What I was asked in the interview didn’t align with what HR told me to expect, and the interview started late. The lack of alignment between HR and the interviewer made it feel like the company overall may be chaotic. Afterward, HR’s follow-ups were generic and robotic, and the employer also mentioned layoffs, which added to the uncertainty. Overall, it didn’t feel worth the effort.
