The role seemed like a perfect match for my skills and experience, particularly with my background in JavaScript and React
The application process was notably rigorous, featuring a technical challenge that was more comprehensive than many others I've encountered. This aspect of the process, which effectively integrated tech screening into the application, showcased Ramp's commitment to identifying highly skilled candidates efficiently. While I understand and appreciate the intention behind this approach, my experience post-submission did not align with my expectations set by the initial application's depth.
Upon completing the technical challenge, which demanded a significant investment of time and effort, I received a generic rejection email from a no-reply address. This outcome was particularly disappointing given the effort and the anticipation built around the role. A more personalized feedback mechanism, even if brief, would have been greatly appreciated and would reflect better on Ramp's values of excellence and respect towards potential employees.

Pregunta 1
Decode a URL string and build a React app to display some data.
Engineering and recruiting teams were very nice.
However the question they asked was quite dumb and doesn’t really test for analytical skills. More like “out-of-the-box” thinking. Still pretty dumb. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

I got scheduled for a technical phone screen. I had prepared by going through Glassdoor, and got one of the questions that is repeated in the posts here. I had recently done another interview in which they asked something fairly similar, so I finished the problem in 20mins. The interviewer then gave me a "bonus" problem which was basically doing more HTTP calls with different edge cases. After making some progress, I ran out of time while handling another one of the bonus problem's edge cases. The next day I received a rejection with no explanation. It's weird to me that someone does pretty well because they were well-prepared, is given something called a "bonus", and then is rejected for no reason. I wouldn't have minded a rejection if I had done poorly, but the way it happened it seems the interviewer was accusing me of cheating, which is maybe a reflection on the company but more so on the interviewer himself.

Pregunta 1
Fairly straightforward question that involves knowledge of HTTP requests and simple algorithms. No need for Leetcode prep.
Recruiter round, then a technical -- completeness is important and they won't tell you that upfront there are multiple parts to the question that you must complete or they won't move you to next round.
